I am a new YT member and YT owner and i have been relying on this site to get most of my info. I got a puppy, Gucci, last week from a breeder. Gucci has champion blood and so far is amazing. I am having trouble finding info on how much to feed him. He is 16 weeks old today and weights 3.09lbs.

I transitioned Gucci from Eukanuba dry food to Primal Raw food. Now i have a few questions that i still need someone to help me out with

1. How many times should i feed Gucci?
2. How much should i feed Gucci? The package says for a 5lb dog, use 2 nuggets split into 2 times a day. (1 nugget in the am and 1 in the pm)
3. Currently i feed him at 7:30am and 5:00pm is this fine?
4. It says to take your dog right out after he eats but when i do he never does anything... is this something he will be taught over time?
5. Yesterday i fed him twice Primal raw food and a small serving of dry food and he didnt poop until this morning. Is this normal?

Some more info:

During the day he stays with us free to roam around the house. At night we keep him in his crate. He doesn't seem to drink a lot of water either.

Thanks in advance!
