Make sure you give them alot. If you come back and they have eaten it all then give them a bit more. The more they eat the better

All this is good info, but how big is a pot?
Also what are peoples opinions on feeding fresh roo meat. I've been of the opinion it is a bit to lean (not enough fat), but in the same not people religiously say turkey over chicken for the same reason.
All dry food contains (fillers) and with the dry food make sure you have plenty of water around, the vege run off is a good idea to mix with the dry food to "soften" the buscuits for the pups. Weet Bix is good in the mornings but i recommend with puppy milk supliment instead of cow milk until atleast 4 mths of age.

Hope this helps

nmfc thats how i feed my pups aswell. and i no alot of ppl do the same way, i think its the best way of doing it. its keeps the cost down aswell.

Im with noel on this one.

You dont need them on supplements at the start. Like for humans supplements should be used when there is a vitamin or mineral defficiency. Simple.

Feed em raw meat with omega 3 oils, eggs, seeds, fat, veggies, fruits and yoghurt and you wont have any dramas.
