It is true, some are really picky, especially the bottle feds. We buy carrots from a farmers market in 20# bags. Most of the deer seem to really like them.We cut them in about 1/4 inch pieces, that way we can get about 10 days of snacks from a bag for 40 or so deer.
He only weighed 3.7 lbs when i got him and about dead. He is now eating about 3-5 oz per feeding(4x a day). He won't eat alot of dirt but he will nible on grass. The rest of my fawns are from 2 1/2 weeks to 5weeks. They eat dirt and grass. It is so cute when they run and play with each other. I am realy enjoying this. Now that I have looked at this site, I know to get them some treats.
