Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Two to three 1-2 hours play sessions per day would be very appropriate and fine as long as he seems fine after and seems to be enjoying it. This is actually ideal and unfortunately not always possible so if you are able to do that, that would be great for Diesel. Good luck and have a great day!
