Dwarf puffer feeding

I'm the proud owner of an adorable dwarf puffer with quite the appitite. I've been breaking up bloodworm cubes for him to eat but am wondering if there is a better way to feed him rather then guessing on how much of the cube to feed. I've been feeding him daily but know some puffs do better on an every other day feeding schedual, what would be best for a little guy like a dwarf? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

you can defrost & rinse the bloodworms, add a little water, and feed the DPs with a medicine dropper
it's good to rinse them anyway, because then you don't add yucky bloodworm water to your tank
daily is good
:)

Great post, I'm new to DP's too so have been 'guessing'.
There is a great thread in the general section on over feeding where they discuss 'routines' on feeding etc. Mainly it's seems advised to feed daily but miss 1 day a week.
