quality of water is important (ammonia maybe be cause)
do partial water change , you can use active carbon....
make up water temperature to 28c or 82f
it will become better....

Dwarf Puffers can be picky eaters. If it doesn't start eating in a few days, try some other food like frozen brine shrimp. Good luck! (those are such fun fish)

A couple of days really isn't much to worry about to be honest, but here's some really great advice from one of the best dwarf puffer sites on the web

It may be because they only like brine shrimp...or once they get hungry enough they will eat or they're too dumb to live, haha.
