puffer question

any tips on feeding a porcupine puffer

I wouldn't recommend feeding it corn regularly. The need a diet that is high in protein.
How long have you had it? If its only been a day or so it might not be eating because it is still adjusting to the new environment.

You could try some sort of crab....
Not sure what a puffer wont eat...they do like to eat inverts. I had an Arrow crab with my Porcupine for a while, but as soon as puffer could fit it in his mouth, he did. Perhaps an bigger sized emerald would work...? Or maybe some larger hermits.
....All depending on what else you have in the tank.

The one that I used to have LOVED frozen brine shrimp. It was the only thing that he would eat.
