Shadow has settled into a routine of eating 3 – 5 lbs of food every 2 – 3 days. His preference rotates between chicken and beef, with a portion of a deer carcass every 7 – 10 days. He's taking a break from beaver. The last two beaver we fed were taken out of the enclosure 5 days after feeding. They looked the same, but smelled much worse. In contrast, anything that is fed to the Exhibit Pack, doesn't come out unless it's in the form of scat. Winter may change the retired wolves feeding pattern, but as long as we have chicken and beef on the defrost table, Shadow enjoys life.
