My 11 week old Yorkie seems to be going through eating phases. A week ago he was eating 1/8th cup of soaked food. Today and for the last 4 days he's been eating half as much, and prefers his food dry. Sometimes he gets fussy and doesn't want to eat the food so I leave it out for him for a few hours until he finishes eating it.

His energy level has been awesome and normal. Looks happy, extremely, playful, and his poo is normal and more solid than it was a week ago.

Is this normal? I've heard that when they are developing, they tend to eat more. Is this true? Is this normal? He seems healthy and pees about 5-6 times a day and poops twice a day.
