If you are feeding him to lose weight then controlling the meals is better, one or 2 meals a day in measured amounts and taking the food away if he doesn't eat it all at once. Dry food is better to leave out all day than wet food as wet food goes off quicker, but you can still leave wet food out as long as it's changed each day. You could give him a small serve of wet food in the mornings and leave some dry food out for him to come back to throughout the day. But always make sure there is water available with the dry food.

I definitely plan to leave dry out while I'm at work and if I do wet, I'd probably do it in the evening. I'm just worried about choosing the right amount. I think that maybe Edgeworth should get more because Amadeus might dip in to his food during the day? But I'm not sure...
And I've also heard that they may start refusing to eat dry food when given wet, is that true or would you say they would likely still graze (or snort like Amadeus) throughout the day?
I guess my biggest concern is them going hungry and me not knowing it... because I can feed myself at any time, but they can't.
