| ten Weeks. How much to eat? Okay, Ceeby started eating again. The breeder told me to feed him anything he would eat right now and not to worry so much about the dry dog food. So he has had a variety of foods the past two or three days. The problem is, someone the other day told me he should only be eating about one fourth teaspoon. he was a little over eight weeks and weighed nine ounces. he will be ten weeks tomorrow and I swear he would eat everything I put down. I have been giving him about a tablespoon ixed cottage cheese and wet puppy food. gave him about a tablespoon of scrambled egg today already and just now gave him one chopped up Toddler meat stick with a little dry food sprinkled on it. he ate the whole thing and licked the dish all over the floor. I am afraid I am overfeeding him. So, I ask all you that know more than me, how much should I be feeding him now? I am afraid he is hungry the way he is going at the food. it is one oclock my time and he has had three feedings today already. Thanks. Oh, and i didn't give him the morning nutrical today since he is eating so well. I will give it to him at bedtime tonight though. |

| He is just a little baby , let him eat as he wants if you don't want him to have hypoglycemia . |

| ten weeks old Thanks so much!!!!!!! I was beginning to think no one was going to respond. I can't bear the thought of him being hungry but i don't want him to eat until he gets sick either or have diarreha. |

| I think Samson was about 10 weeks old when I took him for his 2nd shot and I wasn't sure about the feeding so I asked the vet and he said he should be eating around 150 calories a day. Which with his dog food was I think about a half cup a day, I may be a little off. That's pretty much what I fed him and some days he would eat all of it and others he wouldn't but he's overall not one that will eat everything that's put down for him so I was able to just leave his food down all the time and he ate when he wanted. I've read both opinions about only feeding at certain times of the day and others that say let them eat whenever they want. My experience has been that it worked to let him eat whenever and he is now 7 months and his weight is fine. |
