feeding
Is Diesel still too young to start feeding her just once a day?
I currently feed her twice a day but the amount i feed per meal never seems that much and she is always looking for more, so i upped the portion size and tbh she still looks for more, but i also noticed she was looking a bit chunky round the neck/shoulders so popped her on the scales and she's put on 0.6kg which i know isnt much but thats just in 3/4weeks and i dont want it to continue and end up with a chunky monkey!
So thought maybe if i just fed her one big meal a day she'd feel full and wouldnt mooch as much?

Re: feeding
They will eat and eat and eat if given the chance (well most will), I would be inclined to stick to 2 meals, I have never fed 1, if you have a greedy guts having the 1 meal, they will gobble it, and sill be hungry anyway!

Re: feeding
yeah, think i'll just need to be more strict with myself and remind myself that she is getting enough. She was never like that before, but probs because she just ate because she was hungry but now that its yummy raw chicken she wants more and more!
she's not fat on her belly just her neck and shoulders...which i find quite weird

Re: feeding
If she's around a year old then no it's fine to feed once a day
I feed once a day it's ALOT easier for me with feeding raw i tend to follow this:
4 meals to 10 weeks
3 meals to 5-6 months
2 meals to 10-11 months
1 meal there after!
