Fitting in when it comes to feeding time can sometimes be a bit of an issue. Baby is a food hog and will easily scare any dog that is new to the pack (and some that have been here as long as she has!) And it has taken many of our Chihuahuas a bit of time to grasp the "individual bowl" concept, especially since we went that way from free feeding. We mixed individual bowls with scheduled feedings. The schedule part went was easy breezy but keeping to one's bowl took about a month.
Rane has been here just less than a week and and has totally nailed the schedule AND sticking to her bowl without wandering. She actually walked to the back door to be let out after she finished her bowl!

We just started doing individual bowls (after free-feeding) on ours and they're finally getting the hang of it. It's taken about 2 weeks. We only have two Chihuahuas, so I can't imagine how you wrangled it. :)
Totally worth the effort that's for sure isn't it?
I have also found it makes training them easier too! Holding out on their morning meal and then using food bait for training went much smoother on an empty belly!
