This reminds me of an attempt someone made to domesticate a deer. Failure to mimic cues in the wild to make it feed resulted in its premature death. Most of these animals have specific social, physical and psychological cues that they respond to. There is no way a person can guess the nutritional and other requirements of these pets with appreciable accuracy without understudying them in the wild. Many people make the same mistake because before the trial and error phase ends, conspiring factors have taken a toll on the animal to make it to the verge of death. Other aspects related to this is medication. One of my uncles decided to inject his two lovely twin dogs without familiarity as to the contraindications of the specific drug he intended to use and the animals inevitably died.
