| why won't he eat my puppy seems to only eat less than two meals during the day . is that normal ? i hear that you should feed your puppies 3 times a day but he won't eat until the middle of the night when he is really hungry . when i say middle of the night i mean at like 3:00 in the morning . what should i do and how much of an amount ? i currently feed him orijen puppy and merricks puppy plate but he doesn't seem to like the merricks . i want to change him to a lower protein food since orijen is high in protein . any suggestions ? he sleeps a lot during the day and loves playing at night . it became a bad habit . |

| I never fed my puppies three times a day. I fed them in the morning when I got up and then again at dinnertime. My 3 pound girl eats 1 ounce each time and sometimes 1 1/2 ounces. I do not free feed them.
