Angus is now 17 1/2 weeks old. He is getting the recommended amount of food for his age. Up until a few days ago, he would wolf down his breakfast and dinner in two seconds flat. Lately, he's not been too interested. Yesterday morning, he did not finish his breakfast and actually only ate 1/4 of it. When my husband came home for his lunchtime walk/pee break, Angus still wasn't interested. He did the same thing at dinner last night but eventually ate it all. This morning, he ate only about 1/2 of his breakfast.
He doesn't seem to be ill and isn't allowed to eat freely throughout the day (crated) and I don't want to get him into the habit of "free eating" or whatever it is called. Dinner is a different story because he is obviously not crated throughout the evening when we are home with him.
Is he just growing up and doesn't feel the need to inhale his food? Is this normal? I'm probably worrying about nothing but thought I'd ask for opinions.
Thanks!
