Hello. It is difficult to regulate how much a growing young kitten will eat, generally we recommend just to free feed. Perhaps once the wormer has kicked in, he will do better. It is natural for kittens to catch *& eat bugs as this is part of their instinct to hunt. Instructions of bags of food are just suggestions so you can definitely adjust the amounts based on how much Ginger wants to eat. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
