| Cottage Cheese The babies weren't really eating there food that good, so i bought some cottage cheese to mix with it and they just love it!!!! They eat 3 meals a day, so should I mix the cottage cheese with every meal, or just once a day? |

| Good question, I'm interested too! I think I've heard a few say they only give it a couple times a week or maybe once a day. I'll be watching to see what everyone says, mine love it tooo!!

| Ok, well they had it twice today, so I don't think that will hurt.. hopefully not. Plus it wasn't a lot, there was wayy more kibble than cottage cheese. |

| You know, I don't think it matters how many times they have it. I think it is how much they have. They should probably get between 1 tsp. and 1 tbs. a day each (depending on their size).

| My Cousin is a breeder In ala and she feeds it once a day.She says not only is it good for them, it helps in adding extra calcium to help their ears tostand better when they are teething.

| Well I put around 1 tsp. in each feeding, which was 2 times today. But they eat off the same plate. Its a 3 lb and a 14 lb, then once they finish it I give them some dry kibble. |

| Miko at 11lbs gets between 1 and 2 tbsp per day and Emma gets one... Some days they don't get any, but usually I try to give them some. They do get organic nonfat yogurt everyday though

| I give mine each 1 tsp-1 Tbl. of either cottage cheese or yogurt each day. You might want to start feeding your two separately, so that you can tell who eats what and how much

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | There is nothing wrong w/ mixing some in w/ each meal, esp. if they love it - just use moderation, i.e. add it as 20% of the meal or something... You could add yogurt instead as well - the probiotics are excellent for them!
