creative ideas

I need some creative Ideas to get hard shelled food to feed my puffer.

???, you mean where to get it or what to feed?
Get it at the grocery store or at the LFS
you could do squid, shrimp, clams, snails, hermits, urchins. Urchins would deff. be creative

food isnt really a problem, what I was wondering about was food that would grind his teeth down.

 

[nereef]

shell-on, uncooked shrimp.

 

[blizz75]

shrimp would be good or other shelled animals that would have to pried open like the ones i mentioned

 

[stdreb27]

Is that hard enough? Right now I just feed him krill that is still frozen, and some stuff my lfs sells that has a mix of stuff. Are krill shells hard enough?

 

[blizz75]

No dont do krill and make sure that what ever you feed its not frozen,..

 

[stdreb27]

why not actually frozen, Is it because you cool his body down to much doing that?

 

[wanabebell]

crawfish work really well for all criters that need teeth to be worn down

 

[stdreb27]

ol simple fresh water craw fish? Dead already? hmm never thought of that

I like buying the 300 for $20 nassarius snails from e b a y. Just throw them all in and they are slowly eaten over time.

Crab leg clipped in a nori clip, Raw Shrimp, Cray Fish, Mussels, Clams, Snails and so on...... Thaw your foods before feeding and soak them in vitamins.....
