Men Who Stare at Goats. xD

Actually, I have absolutely no clue why they aren't eating. Maybe they're just a but stubborn?

I haven't sheared my sheep for awhile, but I've been seeing lots of people mentioning this in chat since growth was reenabled. Maybe some change Intelli/bukkit made at that time also inadvertantly caused the sheep to stop regrowing wool?

Gosh, didn't you know?
They ate some zombies and got sick, they don't want to eat.

The colorful sheep have the plague, the others are just following suite.


STAY AWAY FROM THE SHEEP!

THOSE THAT HAVE ALREADY MADE CONTACT MUST BE QUARANTINED!

Actually, with my farm, when I sheared my sheep, they didn't eat any grass until the next day (in real life), so I think it just takes a while. I had another problem with my farm, though. It's completely fenced from all directions, even above, but when I went to check on the next day after that, there was a wolf inside the pen, and all except one of my sheep were gone. The wolf could only have spawned there, as it was completely blocked off, so how do I stop this?

It's a sheep hunger strike, I've seen this before.

If it's blocked off in every direction, the wolf could not have spawned in the room. All animals spawn on the highest available block in a column. The wolf must have glitched in.
