They'd have to be really tiny, like the size of their eye (newly hatched), for them to eat several. Since DPs don't have dental issues, it's not totally necessary to feed them snails.

And why do the snails need to be the size of their eye if DP suck the snail out of the shell instead of eating the whole thing like bigger puffer do?

Re: Ramshorn snail feeding dwarf puffer
They may suck it out but a better option would be to crush the snail for easy access to the meat. I reLly can't tell you how many, since they are different sizes. Feed to a slightly-rounded belly. You can also try freeze-dried foods, like plankton or tubifex.

Another thing do you drop the snails in the tank randomly or one by one waiting to the puffer to eat them?
