They can be very susceptible to several diseases because they are NOT meant to eat corn this time of the year. Acidosis and foundering (Aladdin’s slippers) are the two larger problems just off the top of my head. Not to mention the creepy crawly things that cause pathologic problems for the deer like ticks and flies (Lyme, EHD, and Blue Tongue). Even the scarier CWD. The Turkey can suffer immensely as well by spreading Avian POX to one another and the feeders become very contaminated with salmonella, West Nile, and the avian influenza and can be readily transmissible to other wild song birds and wildlife. The other big problem with wildlife congregating in large feeding area particularly with mammals is mange. I am almost certain at some point the weather will break and you will have bears there and I see that there are squirrel already at the feeder. You do realize that once a bear gets mange it become real nuisances and suffer a horrific fate from sarcoptic mange mites ultimately dying from prolonged exposure and starvation. Highly transmissible to ALL furry critters and the mites can live for long periods of time without a host. So a simple visit to your feeder with a mangy critter will most certainly infest every furry animal that gets even remotely close to your feeder.

I didn’t want to burst your bubble and the pictures are certainly nice but someone had to say it. This type of large scale prolonged winter feeding is just not a good idea and very detrimental to the local fauna. Animals were just NOT meant to forage and congregate in this fashion. Healthy wildlife should be left alone. Toyed and tinkered with will only exacerbate and accelerate natural disease that is meant to keep populations in check not to mention the introduction to disease and biological consequences that occur only when situations like these present themselves, A.K.A the feeder. If you don’t believe me look it up. The science is there. I know what you are thinking already…. Party Pooper…. Well, I certainly can appreciate that the person did not intend to harm these animals but maybe, just maybe, she’ll stop and think about it a bit now.; Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 12:22:00 PM EST
