Do you leave dry food out all day long? I don't b/c I want to be able to predict when my boys will poop. Plus I wanted to give them a standard schedule.

As soon as I wake up in the morning I'll take them outside to do their business then take them right back in. I then give them a small portion of dry food (they dislike wet food) and they'll eat a good amount and whatever is left over I’ll throw out b/f I head out for work. I'll also do the same when I come back from work around 5 and again around 8:30pm.

This has always worked for me b/c I'm giving them time to get hungry so when they get their food they eat it rather than play w/ it. Might be hard at first but they’ll quickly get used to the schedule.

Leaving dry food out too long is not good b/c the food looses its freshness and will probably taste staled to them making them uninterested.

Good luck.
