Scootaloo wasn’t the first, at least not as far as I know, but it did popularize it. I also use that as the series bible for cannibal fluffies. Based on that story, they were an accident created by a mutation that the scientists thought would die out from the gene-pool which was why the scientist was so surprised to see one in the wild.

Weirdly enough, I have a story called The Cecotropic Diet in which an owner begins to feed her fluffy with faeces after reading about it online and that fluffies have rabbit genes and can healthily eat their own poo.
Fermenting that crap sounds disturbing and I have IBS

@Captain_Emo - IRC, and I can’t check right now: fermenting whole plant foods as a form of pre-digestion is the ideal first stem, then as a cost-saving measure you can have them eat pasturized poop (dealing with bacteria, parasites, whatever). The idea of fluffies eating poop to survive (willing or not) is pretty well established, and I did note other animals as inspiration.
It was an industrial themed piece.
IIRC meat is supposed to be hard to digest, so if you went that route for fluffy kibble being easy to digest because its fluffy you’d need to combine with another idea like “fluffies rot really fast.”

Shit, they rereleased the retro Tamagotchis. They even made a Pac-Man Tamagotchi.
A Fluffy Tamagotchi would be the absolute fucking shit. Full on “SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!”

Honestly, if they made Fluffy Tamagotchis I would go poorer quicker than I normally do in the middle of the month.
Id be an attentive owner until they began huffing for Sketties

Now that I think about it, fluffies and Tamagotchis is a neat idea. Y’know, seeing how fluffies react to Tamagotchis.
Ooh, or maybe a fluffy getting a Foalagotchi.

it’s not exactly Hugbox and I had this idea that people who see poor diet ideas would be likely to inflict it on fluffies

TLDR: some of us think fluffy cannibalism is good, some of us think it’s bad.
Sorry this keeps happening. I think I might just take a break from commenting altogether.

If cows knew they were so delicious they’d ask for bbq brisket too.

I honestly wouldn’t care if my tamagotchi asked me for Huggies and Milkies in public they’re getting it as I’d be the best owner I could be, it’s such an amazing idea.
I can imagine a fluffy would really believe that it’s a tiny animal inside.

They’re only Foals for like a couple of weeks, and in the standard version they die in one week either because they starve, are removed from the machine and culled, or a blade in the can severs their spine.
That, and the cost of production, is what keeps them from being profitable in any way at like$0.25 to $5.
The vending machines in Japan that sell live puppies and kittens cost $100 on average, and are a short distance from the animal shelter they come from and rotate back into if unsold. Said shelter is subsidized by the government and donations, not exactly a megacorporation profit scheme.

Most animals will conduct cannibalism to varying degrees.
I think elephants and humans are extreme outliers.

As a general headcannon, cannibal fluffies are meant to be fluffies but better in all ways, they are here to be the fluffies hasbio wanted fluffies to be, without all that dna degeneration.
they are meant to be pets and thus aren’t meant to be let out in the wild for no other reason than hunting fluffies with an owner.
As a threat to other life, they are still considerably weaker than any other animal out there, and should pose no threat to a dog or cat, they are basically fluffies but hostile to other non-cannibal fluffies and some level of experience and training on how to kill them, basically think of them a one of the “thoughies” in a smarty herd but slightly buffier in all stats.
they don’t pose really a threat to anything because their targets are basketball-sized living plushies with the relative resistance to damage as a shrivelled rance nugget you found behind your fridge before moving out.
In any case hasbio wanted them to be very unfertile to raise the prices of making one and thus selling one, and to not have the fluffy catastrophy if they go AWOL.
