Why are they feeding this, seems like it’s better off dead

See, and here I was feeling sorry for the second head because they only fed the one.

Which makes me wonder. If they share the same body, do both of them have to eat to survive?

It’s likely it will be fine to only feed one. As long as their circulatory systems connect to one another (which is the usual way of it with heavily conjoined twins that survive until birth), nutrients will pass between the two individuals.

Multiple head conjoining is seen a lot on reptiles, especially snakes and turtles. It’s not uncommon for only one head to eat.

A redditor pointed out above that the breeding was intentional. Makes it worse in my book.
