Joeys 11wks and he only wants to eat in the morning and evening when our westie scruffy does. He maybe eats a total for the day 1/2-3/4 cup. Is this normal? Or should I keep trying that third feeding that he turns his nose up too? |
Welcome to YT !
There is no set amt for a yorkie because they vary so much in size so you can't go by one amt for all yorkies. That said, an 11 wk old pup needs to eat more then 2 times a day as they are still growing and to prevent hypoclycemia so you need to try to get him to eat or at least snack 2 or 3 times more then he's eating now. It may be that he's eating too much at 1 time rite now & is why he will not eat more then 2 times a day. Depending on his size & activity level, he may need more OR less food then the 1 cup a day theory.
