I have a deer feeder in my front yard and two babies have been coming (with Mama, though) and I’ve discovered they love watermelon rinds. We had a melon on the 4th and I always toss what would be considered vegetable compost in the feeder. It was so hot, I thought maybe they would just eat the leftover flesh that we didn’t eat, but they ate the whole thing and I noticed them back the next night. When I went back to the fruit stand, I bought two: one for them and one for us!
