How much to feed DP

Hello!

I've read all about WHAT to feed my dwarf puffer but haven't found a lot on how much to feed. And what I have found on amount seems to vary really widely. I've had little Storm for about 4 days now, and she has been happy to eat everything I've offered. She has sampled frozen bloodworms, brine shrimp, and the couple pond snails that were in the tank seem to be scarce now so maybe those too. I honestly can't tell when her belly is rounded or not. She's certainly not full grown yet, so she's so small it's hard to tell. Anyone have a visual example of a rounded belly? I have quite the pond snail infestation in one of my tanks, but I'm not sure if I should just dump all the baby snails into the puffer tank and let her hunt at her leisure or not. Thanks in advance. She's quite the character and doing very well so far :)

I give my adult dp (1inch) about a 1/4 of a frozen bloodworm block a day.
