My Nena is deaf. She does the things you mention! It's never caused her a problem... I think mostly because she's always had her sister around. However, if T is out in the run and N is in the shed she won't notice me calling her, rustling food, or opening the door until she can see me :roll:. We used to think she was just stubborn! Nope, poor baby is deaf as a post :lol: I sometimes have to send T to find her if she's not coming to me coz she can't hear me :roll:
