    amount of feed

    I was just wondering what is the average amount of feed a deer eats per day. Is it around 2 lbs.? I know it depends on alot of different things, but I'm not looking for an exact amount, just in general. 2-3 or 4 lbs.? Trying to figure out what it costs to feed one for a year.

    Can you feed to much?

    I have read on here before that your fawns should take in 10 to 20% of their body weight of milk per day. My question is how accurate is that, and also can you feed them too much? My fawns were pulled at 30 hours and are now 6 days old. When I get finished feeding they act like they want more is...
