Just thinking about how mares get too fucking fat when they are pregnant. I found it really silly and cute, but at the same time, really fucking pathetic and disgusting.
So well, if this bitches way too fat to move, and the special friend decides is either too much responsability or gets killed while searching 4 nummies; the mother will be left all alone, with no way to search for food, comfort herself or clean herself, all she has left is either wait until she dies /gets killed or if someone nice takes pitty and cares for her.
I’ll never get out of my head those times back in middle school when i used to log into gore forums, thats how i got into cannibalism andddd I discovered how it looks when fly larvas eat your scalp to the bone.
If the special friend dies or abandons her in the first days that she is pregnant, she is doomed because she will die of hunger or the babies will be born dead due to lack of nutrients.
Speaking practically, they’d be horribly prone to it. I know sheep have to be Mulesed to prevent this exact problem, and given fluffies shit way more than sheep, they’d get devoured by fly larvae.
some of them at least, think of it as a bonus perk
