First, please don't post in all caps. It's distracting and not easily read.
I'm sure all the animals find enough to eat. I don't know if WDW does or not at night. But during the day, there are plenty of people feeding the animals, plus people drop food on the ground. If custodial isn't there fast enough, a bird or squirrel will usually get it. Plus the animals should know how to get some food themselves, they are animals after all.

not to mention the deer and armidillo. i highly doubt WDW even HAS to feed their wildlife. of course, they have the duck feed machines on Tom Sawyer Island, so the ducks in that area i'm sure are pretty well fed. the rabbits have plenty of grass and other vegetation to munch on, and the squirrels....well, i'm sure they have plenty of crumbs left by humans on the ground to eat (not to mention what squirrels 'normally' eat) but the way i see it, all the wildlife are just like birds...birds are EVERYWHERE...no one nessasarily feeds them, they just feed themselves. i'm sure the same goes for the WDW wildlife...that's why they're wildlife...they learn to adapt in the wild (or not-so-wild as the case may be) just like any other animal.
Were talking about wildlife, and if anyone had noticed, if you look at any developement on property, within about 100 ft of any disturbed earth around any of the WDW developements, the land is still in the natural state it was when the property was purchased in the 60's. and the areas on the masterplan marked for wildlife habitats are to stay that way forever, according to the original masterplan of the approx. 27,000 acares of WDW, aprox. 17,000+ are dedicated to wildlife habitat where there are all the natural food chain elements for them.
