Hey All

I recently got a new dwarf puffer. I have done lots of research, but I have been unable to figure out how often I should feed him. I am planning on trying freeze dried bloodworms (because I already have some for another tank) and then when that does not work, moving to frozen bloodworms. My other tank also has a snail infestation, so I can easily take snails from there as well. So, overall, how often should he get the bloodworms, and the snails?? Thanks for your help!

Oh yah, also, how much of the bloodworms should he get at one time?

A general rule is feed them the size of they're eye. So once a day, I would give it like, two itty itty bitty snails, and two or so bloodworms. But you definetly need to give it snails, or else his teeth will grow really long.
