Evening feeding program was less than exciting. All wolves disinterested in food and carcass was left untouched at 7 pm. This is due to the fact that during the isolation of the yearlings and subsequent reuniting of the pack, we decided to keep an unlimited food supply so aggression over food wouldn't contribute to an already tense situation. Now that things are calm, the feeding schedule will resume to the normal pattern of once a week carcasses. The unseasonably warm days in November also contributed to the lack of interest in new food, generally we have a lot of snow on the ground and cold weather that stimulates interest in food. Weather, behavior of wolves and amount of food available make it difficult to predict how a feeding program will progress.
