Hmm, at 5 months old...he's probably approximately 5 lbs or so...and if he's eating a 1/2 of a 3.2oz can 3 times a day...he's getting 3.2 + 1.6 = 4.8 oz...that's seems about right to me. I think the norm. is just under an ounce per pound of body weight. He's a kitten, so he's entitled to eat more than an adult cat, however at 5 months he doesn't need to eat as much as the younger one does. The wet food seems to fill them up more as well!
If the other kitten is 3 months old, he'll probably come around. I wouldn't be so quick to offer him the dry food after the wet. He probably knows it's coming and will hold out for it. Though you have to do what you have to do, if he doesn't eat for a whole day, you gotta feed him whatever he'll eat.
