i spent the last hour looking for an answer but i just can't find anyone with the same problem? i recently bought a suffolk sheep and when i looked at my animal stats, it has like the dark level thing and it hasn't been eating at all. i tried pushing it to the feeder or ringing the bell next to the feeder and close to the sheep but it just won't eat??? is it normal? since it's new?? or is there anything wrong with it? :( it's my 9th animal and my third feedbox isn't available yet (how do you even unlock that??) so please help... thank you

It should be eating while you're not looking at it as usual.

The only way an animal will fail to eat is if there's no food in the feeder.

Are you sure it's not eating? The stress level could rise for many things, like waking it up at night or leaving it outside in bad weather.

If you think it's sick, then use medicine on it.

About the number of feeders, I have never played in Bluebell, but I'm sure the game wouldn't let you buy more animals than what you can take care of.

yep, i checked the animal stats and it shows if the animal is fed, brushed, and talked/touched/interacted with and everything is checked except the fed. and that's true, and i used the stethoscope on it and it says "she's happy and healthy!" so i don't know D:

Make sure it's not getting stuck on something.....I've seen that happen, a sheep couldn't get aligned properly with the feed box to eat until I pushed it away and it could make a better approach, or a small dog is trying to herd it outside, or you're in its way(the animals can't move you or through you). Can't think of other things it could be...

I hope it's not sick or dying. That's not good. :(
