I was looking over dwarfpuffers.com (again! lol) and I noticed that it said nothing about how much and how often to feed dwarf puffers. When I feed them, should I give them 2 dif types of food at once or a dif type every-other-day. Or should I really get their taste-buds (do they have taste-buds?) moving and just mix it up and give them a random variety of food on random days?

Puffers need a varied diet. 1x/day & skip 1 day/week.

www.dwarfpufffers.com, should have all the answers you are seeking for.

I admit that dp.com is a great website for dp's but like I said ^ it didn't answer all of my questions. But that's why I came here and I really appreciate all the help I get from you guys! :bowing:

IMO, it depends on their age, and the tank setup. Juveniles really will do best being fed once or twice daily. Once they mature, every other day supplemented by having snails in the tank for them to hunt is best. If the tank won't support snails, I'd continue with daily feedings.
