What method books do you have available? Maybe if someone here has a copy of one of them we could point you to an exercise to practice diminished 7ths. They're very handy to have under your fingers.
The unique thing about them from a fingering perspective is that, because (putting aside why they're called "diminished 7ths") they are a stack of minor 3rds (3 half steps) there are only really three unique diminished 7th chords. There are different ways enharmonically to spell them, but if you start on C, the next on C# and the next on D, the next one that begins on Eb is enharmonically the same four notes as the one that started on C.
You can build your own study. Start with C-Eb-Gb-A (for purists, technically Bbb, but A works). Next, going up a chromatic scale, is C#-E-G-Bb. Then D-F-Ab-B (again, technically Cb). Continuing up the chromatic scale, start on Eb and use the same notes as the one on C (Eb-Gb/F#-A-C). Starting on E, use the same notes as the one starting on C#, etc.... The Gade excerpt is spelled with F# (which in the excerpt is the actual root) instead of Gb, but it's fingered the same as the C dim 7 chord I started with.
