Animals refusing to eat

Post by NomadKahn »

I recently tamed a couple of sheep and set them up with a feeding trough. While the ram is doing fine, my ewe is refusing to eat. Her satiety has continued declining over the last couple of days and I'm worried she'll die if I cant resolve this issue. A few things that may be affecting her are that the feeding trough only has around 5-10 litres of swill and she's also with lamb. If anyone knows anything about this situation, I'd appreciate some ideas on how to get her eating properly.

I'm not too certain but there seems to be certain randomness to when the animal decides to eat (or check nearby through for food.)

Pregnant animals burn through their satiety many times higher rate than non-pregnant ones.

It'll eat. Just wait for an indeterminate amount of time
