[nagdu] feeding times

[Raven Tolliver]

Like rox ,I also feed the golden guy once daily. I think it's common
with many raw-fed dogs, given they aren't pups.
I also don't feed any given amount on a daily basis. The golden guy
eats anywhere from a few ounces to 3-ish lbs, depending on how much he
ate the day or two before. When I feed whole prey, I just cut it open,
lay it down, and let him eat until he's sated. He's very good at
regulating his own intake, so I don't have to be meticulous about it.
I also vary his feeding time. He typically eats between midnight and
six in the morning, or sometimes in the early afternoon, sometimes
later in the morning, or sometimes in the late evening. It just
depends on my schedule, which varies by season since I'm a college
student.
