Hello, I was just wondering... does the HPW 1/2 tbsp with 1 tbsp fruits and 1 tbsp veggies include daytime treats? I feed him that amount every night, and by 7 am he's up again looking for food, but he's eaten it all already! So I usually give him a small snack I spoil him. I was just wondering if maybe the amount recommended isn't completely enough? Should I feed him more daily treats?

I think the treats are extra. If I get up early enough, I give treats in the morning after they have eaten their fill of the real food. But of course, if they see me at night, and beg for treats, how can I resist?

i would slightly increase the healthy food first, hpw and fruits and veggies. ours dont eat all their food. but we do give them to many treats of yogurt drops and mealies. 2 out of 10 are full size at 160 grams. but the rest are average.
1 tbsp is listed as 24 grams on critterlove.com i think.

It just feels like he gets so much food at night! It's like he's eating his own weight in food He does only weigh 120 grams, which is low side of normal, but still in the "good weight" range according to the vet
