Seems like it’s partially fixed itself after restart. Now my full health defender carnivores also pulling the aloe from said feeder. Didn’t go through the testing or a purge for now, but if I remember correctly from a previous fix, all followers need to pull food from pots or feeders if they lost some HP.
From the positive angle, Sabre kitties need some plant matter to help vomiting furballs 
Have a nice day for everyone,
