So hunger only applies on danger mode. If food is not falling from the sky, Yus will never starve.
Easiest way to starve one is to toss one in the dry yukkuarium next to the fridge and wait. Zero chance random food will make it in there.
That said, it takes FOREVER for a yukkuri to starve to death. They will go into a hungry state after losing one hunger star, and start whining incessantly about it (pecopeco, harahetta). As time passes without getting food, they lose more hunger stars. When they are down to zero hunger stars, IIRC they slowly lose health while being extremely lethargic and slow.
It is very possible for yus to starve even outside in the wild if they are in a group. If you take a group of small yus and put them in one of the fenced in areas, they will all hop towards any food that drops nearby. However, one of them will get there first, and even if a number of them take 'bites' from a food object, only one of them will 'swallow' it for the last bite.
Every bite increases their size. Large size means higher speed. Higher speed means getting to food faster, which means eating more of it sooner, which means getting bigger.
Eventually any given area will have one or two yus that monopolize all the food, and the rest just desperately race from one drop to the next, never actually getting any food because the local big ones get there first and devour it all.
And, as a yu fails to eat, loses hunger stars, and gets lethargic . . . it gets a speed penalty. So yeah.
You can see it in action from a fair start yourself. Take a bunch of yus, feed each of them a heart at roughly the same time. Once they all have babies, take all the babies and put them in the same zone (I use the fenced in areas left of the cow). Make sure no other bigger yus are with them. Also make sure there are no flyers in your map or remi/flans in play. You can drop food into a corner far from them to speed up the process faster than natural food drops.
When I am 'growing' a cash crop of yus for sale, I tend to put all the babies in one corral like that, then come back later and move the 'bigger' ones over to another area to give the rest a chance to grow. The bigger they all get, the less difference size makes (as the number of hops to cover the same distance goes down as they all get bigger, the speed difference of a 100 fed and 110 fed yu is much much less than the speed difference of a 11 fed and a 1 fed.
I haven't experimented with wounding a yu and seeing if running around hurt burns hunger stars faster than running around hale and whole.

They deffinetly take a lot more than in Yukkuri Breeding and Observation.
i don't think ive ever seen one starve to death. i guess i don't have the patience. i did feed one so many cakes it got big as a house. the huge ones dont' live long though
Sometime i try to see them starving to dead but i cant wait they always said same queote that so annoying so i killed them by missle.
Dose yus can eat a shit and regen his hugry stats ? i but shit hat on thier head when they touch poo it make weird noise and regen their hungry stats , health
I think i find new bugs when yus dead pick it up let them fly to heaven that time use katana kill yus again yu will invisible (but some part fo body like hair cat ear it visible) if u use katana again yus will separate like fisrt have 4 u use katana kill them again it be 8-9 yus but warning that very lag and f ing loud

I forgot about the poop eating ya if you wanna starve them you have to clean up the poop
