Food Amounts

Nigel is about 7 1/2 months now. He was a grazer until Bella came. He has been eating 4 cups a day since she got here. She has been here around 6 weeks. The past 2 days he didn't eat breakfast, or only ate half.

It makes me wonder if it is too much food...we feed Canidae. Bella only gets 3 cups, but would eat the whole bag if you let her. She is the first sheepie I have had who wasn't fussy. Nigel just falls into a long line of fussy eaters.

So, the big question is, when does he eat the same amount as an adult??? :?

I base a switch of food (amount) on their weight. We tried going by the back of the bag as far as amount and found Yuki was dropping weight, so kept with the 4 cups. She's now 3 and still gets 4 cups of food a day ........and I get told she's SKINNY or TOO SKINNY by people ....yet all the vets say she's perfect.
