Is there a way to know if he's just going to be small, or should I try to "fatten" him up a bit?

Linda,
That should be just fine.
You should be able to feel his ribs but not see them. Puppies are usually little plump so that depends on how you feel. Unless he is a small corgi his weight should be about the same as his age in weeks for the next few months.
Remember there is more than one right way to raise a dog. And people on this forum have different opinions.
I don't feed a puppy formula food at all, and I think 3 meals
a day once they're old enough to go to new homes is just fine.
You have to decide what will work for you.
