puffers teeth

[justsomeguy]

One of my puffers teeth are getting rather large and it is beginning to become more of a chore for him to eat. I have tried snails, but he just sucks them out unlike my other puffer where he justs breaks the shell in half. The question is... any ideas on how I can work his teeth back down? thanx for any replies.

I would consult you local vet if they are severly overgrown, if just slightly try him with a piece of cuttlefish bone from your pet shop. 8)

Yeah call your local vet. Get some of that bone it will do good for him. ;D

Yeah you probably would want to call your local vet.  If the puffers teeth get to big, it will prevent them from being able to eat and they will die from starvation.
