I’ll bet them big cats and wolves get hungry too. I think that show would give me bad dreamsThey do eat the mice and just about anything they can get their hands on. Starvation can be a huge factor.
What's interesting, on one show a man had a number of dried fish tucked away but he starved himself to the point they took him off the show before he permanently harmed himself. He could not bring himself to eat his stash because he might need it later. They usually last 60-70days.
