Lurcherdog96 15 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 How many times a day does everybody feed? I feed my 2 roughly same time every night after their walk and that’s it once a day and they look well on it but I was thinking would feeding twice a day be a better option? Just looking for opinions Cheers Quote Link to post

poxon 5,722 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Once a day 9pm every night for the 2 cripples if I’m taking the young un out she gets half her daily weight portion mid day then the other half after we’ve lamped but only done that the few trips she’s had so far but guessing it’ll all intake will need to be upped once the season gets under way properly 2 Quote Link to post

Daniel cain 45,103 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Around 6/8 o'clock each evening, aftet they brem exercised and cleaned up... pups 3 small meals aday until around 10m old. Terriers get a warm meal in the season after a days graft, small meal in the morning for the runners if im off out lamping and a big warm meal when we get back, summer months they miss a meal on Friday, meaty bones on the Saturday morning. If they lose condition then i give bigger or smaller portions, works for me 2 Quote Link to post

trigger2 3,133 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Depends on time of year, work load. I feed 3 times when working hard, once when they have done there shift, once when I get up and once again about 5 hours before they go out. In the Sumer I feed once a day and twice a day in the winter when not doing much. Quote Link to post

Hands of Stone 154 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Depends on the workload but I always feed morning and night and sometime a third meal if the dogs are being rested. Quote Link to post
Saltmoon 2,208 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Twice a day everyday Quote Link to post
dogmandont 9,802 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Adults get feed once a day after exercise or work, although if I’m out hunting and having a bite to eat in the van the hungry bollox is usually slabbering over my shoulder so he’ll get a mouthful of what I’m having. 1 1 Quote Link to post
