Traci...good question
My experience...they stop when they're full. That DOESN'T mean that they are less prone to obesity than I am lol! Since Carlos is "little" I'd let him eat whenever he wants. Just making sure to watch fat & calcium phoso ratios. (excess calories can inhibit absorption of calcium & D3) I feed mine before noon and every other day but their adults. A few months back...Juana (free roamer) was eating like usually but still losing weight..looking kinda gaunt around the waist (I wish I had that problem!) anyway...wound up being a case of worms.....Could Carlos be feeding something other than his tummy?
