Thanks, everyone, for your input.

Hmmm, I'm hesitant to cut back any more on what I'm feeding because that's the good stuff. I'm feeding 1/4 cup of kibble/homecooked twice a day for 10-pound Eddie and 1/8 cup of same for 4-pound Jillie.

They had never been interested in apples or carrots, but last night I tried some frozen green peas and they gobbled them up like they were liver snacks.

Think that's healthy to give them a bunch of those a day?
