Hello all! I would like to know what the recomended amount of food to be feeding my babies? Gauge(Y)Male 2.5 and Nala(C)Female 1.10 and as well how many times a day they should be getting fed? Right now and it seems to be working for them we feed when I get home from work Gauge 3 scoops(scoop=1-1 1/4 cups) Nala 2.5 scoops. they gobble it down quickly then are ready for a potty and play ball time. should they be getting more less just right? They are very healthy and the vet has said Nalla is a little too healthy if you know what I mean (just don't tell her:brow: ). any info would be great!

Thanks Jay

depends on their activity level and the kind of food you are feeding. With a higher quality food you don't need to feed as much.
I am feeding Duncan 4 cups a day (2 cups in the am and 2 in the pm) and he doesnt have any fat on him...also no visible showing of the ribs so he is where he should be right now. I also exercise him alot so if I didnt i would feed him less.
There are alot of factors but I think if you do it based on how they look and adjust accordingly thats a start.
