What Do Baby Deer Eat?
Baby deer drink their mother’s milk. Once they begin to get teeth, they begin nibbling grass and leaves just like their mom. They’ll then eventually wean completely off the milk and eat vegetation only. It’s best not to put anything out at all. While you might like them in your back yard, it’s easy for deer to become too accustomed to being around people and in people’s property and become a nuisance. Often deer that are lured into yards with treats begin to vist the neighbors and end up being shot because they have become troublesome or get injured on roadways because they’re frequenting more habited areas looking for hand outs. Just watch them and enjoy them.
