It turns out that children's publishers do not rate for story lines in which the initial main protagonist disappears abruptly from the cast of characters after the first act. They are not well-pleased with "Zambi: The Outbreak Begins". Imagine my disappoint.Image may be NSFW.

Deer also eat lemmings. But who doesn't? Lemmings are central to arctic ecology, a comparable role to sand-plankton on Arrakis.
It is not so clear from the observations whether deer carnivory extends as far as brain-eating cannibalism. However, it is hard to see a better explanation for the prevalence of cervid prion brain-rot, i.e. Chronic Wasting Disease. It only remains for Charlie Stross to use this story in a Laundry Christmas Special.
In the interests of full disclosure we reluctantly admit that other so-called 'experts' incline towards other vectors of CWD transmission, primarily the soil contamination theory.

Effects of calcium deficiency
onantler Attire rigidity
Opinions are divided on the biological background to cervine carnivory. One school of thought is that calcium is what deer crave; they need it to rigorise their attire when it regrows each year. So they nom upon the shed racks from years before... also any other bones they come across, being none too scrupulous as to whether the previous owners have entirely finished with them. A second school has it that meat is simply a guilty pleasure, and deer like it even more if battered & deep-fried & smothered in salt... before the creeping shame and the self-loathing.on

When not eating bats, deer particularly enjoy nibbling upon little hatchling chicks and baby ducks.Deer removed nestlings quickly (5–19 sec/nest) at night (22:00 to 05:17 Central Daylight Time) and left no evidence of predation. Although probably opportunistic, deer predations clearly were deliberate and likely are more common than generally believed.Image may be NSFW.

On Rhum, Inner Hebrides, red deer were watched biting the heads off manx shearwater chicks and occasionally also chewing the shearwaters' legs and wings to excise bone. Killing of birds and the selective ingestion of bone-rich parts by ruminants has not previously been widely documented.Also fish, though without pursuing the primary literature it is unclear how they catch them. It is easy to imagine stag astride a stream in spate, deftly scooping out the spawning salmon with their hooves in the manner of bear, but photographs of the scene in the pages of National Geographic remain strangely elusive.
