Teaching the puffer to spit water when being fed Video!

[drdingo21]

I've been working with my porc puff for a little while now trying to get him to spit water when I'm feeding him. At first he didn't do it at all, but now hes getting the hang of it all and doing pretty well.

Just a heads up, it's not quite as cute when it gets big and you come home to a lake in the den.

+1....What's he going to do when he gets hungry? Probably spit water out of the tank thinking you are going to come with the meat.

An extra bad idea if you have halides....

I dont have halides.
He hides unless I'm standing over the tank feeding - so I'm not worried abou ---.
Just thought I'd share the video.

When do you get back home? I thought you were almost done.
