are some animals too dumb to eat?

So... I finally got a Muffalo pregnant. hurray... not.

as there is no visual warning of animal malnutrition other than clicking individually on every single one of them, my muffalo had a miscarriage due malnutrition. in fact, it seems the other (a male) muffalo died and I didn't even notice...

as soon as i saw the miscarriage (spell?) message, i clicked on her... but she had no malnutrition and she was well fed in the needs tab... WTH?

anyways, so now, I am following around that one female muffalo for a while... and i notice she is dumb as hell...

1) she is in a zone that allows her to access all the map, except 2 closeby indoor growzones
2) as of writing this, she has "malnutrition trivial"
3) she doesn't have any illness
4) she is trained in obedience 1/1, but nothing else (and i don't intend to train her more)
5) there is a huuuuuge hayfield right outside my base (doors are open and allowed BTW) and every single animal goes there to eat... except this muffalo (and probably her dead partner) ... the base is not THAT big, in fact she wanders inside the base which is further away from her sleep spot than the hayfield (field which has both growing hay and already harvested hay lying around)

ofc i could just make a feeding spot for her, close to her sleeping place... but that would "treat the symptoms, not the illness" if you know what i mean...

so, any ideas why muffalos are too dumb to feed themselves off a percectly available hayfield, when all my other animals do it just fine with the same settings?


edit: so i allowed my muffalo into the fridge to see if it would help...

this was the result (which i noticed after seeing the muffalo vomit all over the place xDDD)
