[nagdu] Changing feeding times

[Buddy Brannan]

Hi Lisa,

That’s exactly what I did when I changed Karl (my first guide, a long time ago) from a once a day feeding to twice. Just started feeding him half in the morning and half in the evening, and he adapted fine. Just keep in mind that relieving schedules will probably change somewhat, so be aware of that and account for it.
