@PipMenaceI thought that so I tracked it as he got steadier on his legs and started to run, etc.
So, at a few days old and on steady legs he'd still have hunger level at Good and I'd feed him something by hand (once he was weaned) to stop his hunger dropping. But his hunger would still drop soon after and he'd be Dazed until he ate, then he'd immediately lose the Dazed feeling. So as I say I assumed the Dazed feeling was linked to the hunger as arrived with hunger and then it went away after a full meal of prairie grass I'd stocked in the hay feeder.
I've switched households now so I'm going to test when I next add a foal as this didn't happen with a purchased foal and the purchased foal also went to a mare for food very regularly but the foal born in game only did that once, which is one thing I'm certain can't be right. The rest I'll test as I go.
This next horse I'm adding will be created as Flapjack's foal in CAS as I'm adding a daughter for Sienna. So I've tested purchased, bred and next will be a foal that will be created using CAS genetics method.
@simsplayer818 I did notice that when all needs were full the dazed moodlet was more likely to go away - I assumed because of some sort of content happy moodlet for full needs that helped override the dazed.
They are still supposed to be able to nurse though, as long as the mare is nearby and not kept busy. At least until temperament is high enough for them to eat hay themselves. I don’t believe my foals nurse much once they can eat prairie grass or use the feeder - but they do feed themselves.

- @PipMenace Yeah I think that's where I've definitely got an issue. He wouldn't nurse at all even when first born, whereas I didn't have that with the purchased foal and unrelated mare. As soon as the purchased foal met the mare he went to her to be fed but the newborn foal didn't do that with his birth mother. He just kept getting so hungry my Sim was constantly bottle feeding him, even during the night. He then nursed once after he'd already started eating hay/grass etc. I was so worried he'd be taken away, although I run a backup so I could get him back at least.
So maybe the Dazed feeling goes away with full needs and isn't linked to starvation 🤔 that's a good point.
