Thank you Mackenzie! So free fed them then like they graze their daily amount through out?

Exactly! I would still measure it out morning and night to get a sense of how much they are eating but don’t stress if the bowl seems untouched for a day or two (as long as they are otherwise active and normal). Of course if they start getting fat, you’ll have to change things but that hasn’t yet happened for my doodle and he is 7 years old! Best of luck to you three!
