Feeding Your  Puffer

Puffers appreciate a varied diet, and it is best to provide them with "crunchy" foods (shrimp in shell, snails, and other shellfish in shell) to keep their teeth ground down. Otherwise, the puffer's teeth will grow until it cannot eat, and will need to be filed down (not an easy thing for you OR your veterinarian!)
