Does anyone's Savannah go through a day or few days where he/she doesn't eat much at all and then have a day or days where he/she is constantly hungry and eating way more than usual?

Well, it is an behavior which my Nabila shows also, sometimes not so hungry but then period of well appetized ... It occours also when females get into heat ... Food and hunger is more secondary ...
She has times ... 3 baby chicken a day plus kibble and wet/raw meals ... Sometimes she only eats the baby chickens head and the rest is for lil Lina :) it depends.

I have read somewhere that this is related to the Serval food behavior ... They tend to have well / over food after a success hunt - and the they may need to pause hunt for several day when there are less prey animals available. This could explain why the Savannah have such food ups and downs ...
