Well, I give Roscoe food in the morning, but he usually doesn't eat it until around dinnertime. He usually likes to eat when I am cooking dinner. If he seems to be hungry later in the evening I'll give him a little more. He has put on a good bit of weight since we got him (I think he was about 75 lbs. or so when we got him and he just weighed in at 93 but he looks much better - I can't count his ribs anymore ).
