Feral Not Eating
23 Answers
I have a wee feral that lives in my orchard, been there for 3 years, has had several litters but I managed to trap her 18 months ago and got her spayed. She is now letting me and only me touch her and stroke her with an occasional belly rub.
She has always been keen on her food twice a day without fail!
But the last 3 days she hasn’t eaten I have tried everything chicken beef prawns finally managed to get her to eat today thanks to tuna! That superfood!
The thing is I don’t want to upset her little tummy so do I just give her normal food on the premise that she will eat if she’s hungry or continue with the tuna but reduce the amount every meal so she doesn’t get too use to it?
Taking her to the vets would cause her too much stress I think, she certainly isn’t thin as I do feed her a lot so she has a good winter belly on her.
Any advice gratefully received
