I'm going on a 4-night vacay Sunday, and my little ADF will not eat unless handfed (other fish are being auto-fed) and we're gone 4 nights. How much bloodworms should he eat right before we leave, and will he last? He's used to a diet of every-other-day.
 
Frogs can easily go a week without food. There's no need to overfeed before you leave, as that would likely cause more harm than good. Just feed normally right before you leave, and then again when you return.

When you say the others are auto-fed, you mean with a timer that releases flakes or a vacation feeder block? If the timer one, awesome, you should be fine, but avoid the vacation feeder block like the plague. They tend to foul up the water and cause issues. The fish can handle a week with no food, worst case.
