    Well they have basically been denied food the entire time they have been in transit. So they are hungry. Remeber, potatoes are not food, they are just a water suply.

    No, it may be lack of water....That seems the biggest concern with them.

    Under feeding can be a cause of death. If you do not supply enough food they will start eating each other. They have no problems with cannibalism.
