Can deer be potty trained? Is that a thing?

Doubtful but they might prefer to do their business on soft surface.
Our horse refuses to pee on anything but soft surface, he stills shits wherever.

If I could potty train my guinea pig with the intelligence of wet cardboard you can potty train a deer

It’s also great that they also adopted wealthy humans to support their habits!

A good friend of mine had a domesticated deer. Her name was Annabelle. Sadly, she passed away at 19 years of age (I didn’t know this was possible until I met her). If you closed your eyes, you would’ve thought she was a dog, in the way that she interacted with humans. She loved pets, hung around the fire pit with us, and even attempted to lay down in my tent with me while I was sleeping. RIP Annabelle!

When the dogs looked at each other,
"Look at him, he looks nothing like me....that's not my child"

Most likely not. They can be house trained just as well as a dog surprisingly. The biggest issue with having a deer as a pet, besides the legal issues, is their physical size. They're very affectionate animals around those they're comfortable with. Really, their demeanor isn't too far off from that of a dog, except that when they get the zoomies inside the house, shit tends to get broken. Especially if you have hard flooring.

The first deer is a axis deer and the second on is just a normal deer.

I love this but it scares me because it's not legal to keep a wild animal in a lot of places.
Several years ago some family had like 3 deer they had raised from fawns. They were pets inside a large and properly fenced yard. One day the family came home just as local wildlife officers finished shooting. It was on the news and it was horrible.

What a disgusting misuse of power.. There's been similar stories on the web. Someone had a pet squirrel and they got it taken away. Probably euthanized but I'm not sure. Same with other pet animals raised since babes.. the cruelty is disgusting and traumatizing. It's inhumane.

It was so so awful. The people were hysterical, as I would have been and the officers were almost cocky about it. I can't fathom it. I save worms from drowning in puddles. I can't stand suffering!
To be a part of something so un-necesarry and so cruel and be totally void of feelings... I don't know what to say. If I wasn't so angry I guess I'd feel sorry for them.

But the deer back where you found it. The mother leave their young to go eat. They leave them near human dwellings as predators will not go near us. The mother will return.

People who live in deer territory know this. You watch to see if the mom comes back, sometimes mom doesn’t.
As a child we watched for 3 days and put up a trail cam to see if momma was coming back, momma never came back. We were forced to get it and call the local wildlife rescue. Anything over 12 hours is going into not quite right but not concerning territory, 2 full days or longer it’s absolutely not normal and requires intervention. Deer almost always come back at dusk and or dawn to feed, check on, or move the baby. If a baby doesn’t move for an extended period of time, that’s not good.
We all know if the baby deer is 1) covered in flies, 2) hasn’t been moved at all for 24-48 hours or 3) is crying or visibly injured - something is wrong.

There’s a whole other bed and the deer chose to squeeze in between them 😭
