I think it gets bettr as they get older. i was also told by a vet that its because there is undigested food in the poop and they smell it and eat it. I think changing the food and how much was the cure as well as just the dog getting older.

I am surptised to hear the poop time is before he eats. I would think he'll take a bigger , hopefully more thoroughly emptying poop if he is let out after eating to poop. That may just eliminate the need for the extra poop before morning.

You obviously have to scold him for pooping in his cage. Eventually as they mature , they want to do what makes you happy so continued reenforcement that pooping in the cage is bad may train him to hold it.
