So as Tillys maloclussion has progressed, she has been eating less pellets and more cc. She is now up to about 80ml daily. I work from 9-6 and have been doing some in the a.m. and some in the p.m. my concern is that this isn't frequent enough. I am worried there is a danger of intestinal rupture ? Guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks guys
 
When I was working full time and was hand feeding Rachel for 6 years. I fed her right after I got up, then just before I left for work, then just after I got home and finally just before I went to bed. Never had a digestive problem with her
 
I tried feeding Chico 5 times daily and he only ate much for 3 of those. We settled into a routine of my feeding him before work, my husband feeding him in the afternoon when he got home, and I fed him again at night. No digestive problems at all.
 
Oh, and Chico wasn't eating pellets or hay at all by then. Hand feeding only and he was over 900 grams when I had to have him put to sleep.
 
Thanks guys. I think first ill start with three times so ill do it in the morning then add a feeding right when I get home then again before bed. Barb by the way hercules is doing great! As talkative as ever
 
If I am handfeeding for malo, the chin gets 3 approx 30ml meals a day, its when you feed for digestive issues the feeding needs to frequent and small.
