I would be afraid not to leave food in with my yorkie baby. My first Yorkie, had a hypoglemic attack because one night I forgot to put her food back in her crate. When I got up the next morning, I opened her crate and thought it was unusual she did not come out. I coaxed her and she wobbled out and fell on the floor. Thankfully I knew what was happening. I left food with her at all times after that and had no further problems. I now have my second yorkie baby ( 12 wks old) I have kept food with her the entire time and not hypoglycemic reactions. I will keep food with mine until she is atleast 6 months old.
Before I had yorkies, I did not leave food or water in my dogs crate at night and advised others not to either. Everything I have read says not to do it. I don't think they took in consideration that these little ones need to eat about every 3 hrs.
