I free feed the whole zoo. I've been very lucky that none of my critters have weight issues. I make sure that all bowls, everywhere are full all the time. (My cats have a separate large bowl on their own counter so the dogs never eat cat food, I don't care if they eat dog food). It is especially important, IMHO, that the young ones free feed. They require more food than adults and to avoid sugar drops only their little bodies know when they need that extra punch of food. I'd be scared that they'd be hungry and facing an empty bowl when they needed some energy. Then again, I'm a grazer myself and I could just be projecting..LOL
