I'm wondering how old Henry should be before I transition from feeding x3 a day to x2?
He's 7-months-old and is currently eating me out of house and home: 10 ounces of raw a day! He's a skinny little man, so although the amount is expensive, I'm not worried that its too much. Rather, I'm wondering if 5 ounces at one time is too much to feed?

Currently I mix 10 ounces of various premade medallions in the am and split the amount into 3 feedings which happen at approx 9am, 3pm, and 9pm.
Thoughts?

And as an added bonus vent, I just realized with the 6-8 ounces Winston eats a day, my boys eat at least a pound of food everyday. No wonder why I'm broke!!!

I dunno Kristi, I still feed Elvira three times a day because she demands it! She's only slightly older than Henry at 10 months!

Lucy is a baby and eats only 6oz total a day in raw. I feed her 4 times a day and slit it up. She also gets grain free dry food to eat whenever she wants and treats here and there. I hope 60z is not to little. This is what I was told to feed her. 10 oz seems like allot but I am not sure.

Frank and Luci eat 3 times a day. Only because Luci is almost 6 months and Frank never leaves her side so it's hard to feed her without him. I figure when she turns 1 then they can eat twice a day. They get between 6 an 8 oz a day each.
Can you feed dry if they are eating raw?

Nature's Variety has a kibble form of Instinct which they say can be fed with their raw brand. I'm a little wary, however, as combining raw with kibble is a big no-no. Regardless, adding this kibble in my house is not possible due to Winston's IBS.

From what you all are saying, it sounds like I'll keep feeding x3 day!
Thanks!
