Hello. I would not recommend feeding Stella during the night. Just like us, we need to have a good nights rest for the following day. Waking her any time after 9pm will make it much harder to try & house train her to sleep all night. Definitely feed her in the morning & she should do great. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
