What did SMAUG do for 60 years?

For roughly 60 years (or more, sources vary), Smaug lived in Erebor (the Lonely Mountain), hoarding its massive dwarf treasure, sleeping on it, and devastating Dale, eventually becoming a desolate wasteland, until Bilbo and Thorin's company arrived to reclaim the mountain, leading to his death.

What did Smaug eat for 60 years?

Smaug likely ate large animals like deer, bears, and livestock, plus the dwarves and people of Dale during his initial attack, but then went into long periods of torpor or hibernation, surviving for years between substantial meals by relying on stored fat and emerging occasionally to hunt, similar to large reptiles. He had already devastated Dale, so he wasn't actively feasting on them during his long sleep, but would hunt when hungry or annoyed, like devouring the dwarves' ponies, according to discussions on Quora and Reddit.
