[QUOTE="Keren, post: 550854, member: 3195"] Well, my 'rescue' doe ate like a horse for the first couple days, now she has really slowed down in her feed intake and appetite. No other signs of sickness, and not completely off her food, just not eating all that much. My thoughts were along these lines: a) she was really hungry after being under considerable malnutrition for so long, and after a couple days of eating right she has 'caught up' and doesnt require as much b) she ate so much she now has a stomach ache (although she's not acting this way) c) she ate heaps the first couple days cos she figured that was all she might get, now she has realised she gets fed every day she knows its okay to only eat when she's hungry d) her stomach physically cant take large amounts of food due to prolonged malnutrition What do you think? Are these reasonable explanations? Or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
