I recently upped everyone's food intake (expect Bogey, she had to have her decreased as she was getting a bit... padded lol) and I think I've FINALLY found Kiki's ideal amount. Before I went by the raw calculator but she couldn't maintain the weight so I've been gradually upping it and she seems to be holding a nice weight now, although I'm not used to seeing her like this haha so wondering if maybe she's on the road to Fat Ville? She's now getting 100g (3.5oz) a day!! Costing me a bloody fortune  |

What does she weigh? That's about what Brody eats, around 3 ounces a day, sometimes a bit more, sometimes less. He's 5 pounds. It's hard to find the exact right amount! Good job.  |

I can't remember her weight LOL I think around 5.5lb mark. Just so glad that she seems to be holding on to it now though. I think altogether we're getting through around 250g a day which really isn't bad at all but obviously expensive when I want to feed them proper meat and not the minces!
Karen, ALL of mine would eat their daily amounts and more haha. They always act starved, it can be so embarrassing sometimes, like I don't feed them LOL.

I worked out (according to the raw feeding calc) that Louie will need approx 85g per day....but he is a good deal heavier at around 7.5lbs, though i'm sure i fed around 85g per day last time he was on raw no trouble. He's been looking a bit of a chunk recently to me so i'd be happy to see him slim a little, i prefer him slimmer than a bit chubbier
