What to feed baby deer?

Answer 1

The deer that frequent our yard regularly love milled corn, apples, Pears and some of the females like bread! I read on WikiAnswers that deer will eat carrots and I plan on trying that out this afternoon. There are 3 or 4 deer (even enormous bucks) that come within a few feet of us and will stand in our yard and stomp their feet till we come out and give them something to eat. One young buck has walked right up to me and poked a piece of apple in my hand! There's also a little fawn we have named Mary Belle that has walked up to me, stopping only about 2 or 3 feet away. If you are consistent with the feeding, move slowly as to not spook them, they will become accustomed to you and will get closer and closer as they learn to trust you. A doe we call Trudy will stand right at our porch wanting apples!

Answer 2

You should never never feed wild deer. You will make them so they are unafraid of mankind which will lead to death during the hunting season as they will have lost their natural fear of mankind. There are laws in most states against doing this sort of ignorant thing. You can be fined or even go to jail. You are doing way more harm to the deer by feeding them then by letting them be natural in the wild and to keep their natural instinct of being fearful of all humans.
