WELCOME to YT and CONGRATS!! The piccie in your avatar is so cute.

What makes you think he may not be getting enough food...he's not weak or lethargic or anything, is he? IF he is, you do need to go to the vet asap, okay? He does seem healthy...?

At that age, I always fed 4x a day - and would just let them eat however much they wanted to. They're very tiny at that age, so it doesn't take much to fill them up. Also, if your pup is stressed / anxious since getting to his new home (not uncommon), go out and buy some Nutrical - it comes in a tube and is at Petsmart etc - it's a vitamin supplement that also provides some quick-absorb sugars and fat (and a bit of protein too, I think), if / when needed. When I first got my puppies, I'd always give them some Nutrical the first couple days after being home, AND before bedtime and when they woke up...just to give them a little boost, and a little back-up in case their blood sugar was a little low.
