Hello and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You may want to offer the 3pm meal a few more times just to double check that Tyson is no longer interested in this feeding. If he still does not want to eat that time you can discontinue that feeding. At over 4 months of age, he should be old enough to not require three feedings a day.
