"I think it could be the availability." - That would be great. I am thinking and hoping that is correct.I think it could be the availability. I think I'll start measuring out the portion for the whole day and giving them little by little every time.
Before free feeding the were getting 50g wet in the morining 1 scoop of kibble at lunch (around 18g) 50g wet at dinner time and another scoop of kibble before bed.
The instructions for the dry say 55g-70g and 150g - 200g of wet food. (All instructions for feeding them as the only source of food)
I was always aiming for the lower end of the spectrum out of fear Monty could get fat.
Sooo the whole dry food supply is a little off right now
" I think I'll start measuring out the portion for the whole day and giving them little by little every time." - Perfect. I think that is a great idea.

Now they are getting about 72g each per day of dry and the 100g of wet per day. So slightly above on the dry and still below on the wet. Since metabolisms are a little different I always watch for weight gain though it does take time to show up.
"I was always aiming for the lower end of the spectrum out of fear Monty could get fat." - Understandably.
"Sooo the whole dry food supply is a little off right now" - Yes :/
I think you have a good plan, let's see how they do. Great job!!
