Seriously, consider what they'd been through. Suppose you'd been rousted
out of the only home you'd ever known, trucked in the dark to some
unknown place, and dumped in sudden daylight into strange smelling
water. Would eating be the first thing on your mind?

I'll bet if you'd come back the next day you'd have caught them one
after another.
