How often to feed juvenile puffers? And How much?
I have two f8's that I bought about 3 weeks ago. They are about 2 inches long. I am a little unsure how much to feed them and how often. As of right now I feed them once a day. one piece of krill a piece and they share a earth worm that they usually dont finish. Some days I substitute the krill for blood worms and a couple times a month toss in a few snails. Is that good? Any tips, knowledge, advice would be greatly appreciated. I am still a beginner.

You ccould feed them once a day or every other day, that is down to the owner than anything else.
Feed what you feel happy with without overfeeding and once you have that routine of when and the amounts stick with it. I would feed a 2" F8 every other day, others would feed once. Go with what makes you feel comfortable.
