Aside from being found out by other ponies / the princesses, are there any other immediate threats to the hive? If no, are there any real threats to changelings who temporarily leave the hive for one reason or another? If yes to either, any examples or incidents of times when these threats have caused damage/problems?

Ponies are highly biased against changelings, and are likely to kill or capture one on sight, but aside from them changelings face several threats.

Griffins have been known to hunt and feed upon changelings, especially those whose eyes are sharp enough to pick out imperfections in a changeling’s disguise. Griffins tend to look down on many ponies as inferior beings, but still sentient and civil enough to interact and intermingle with. They see changelings as being no more than love sucking beasts though, and will treat them as such.

Changelings can eat and digest most organic materials, but not wood. The excessive fiber is too much for them to break down. Because of this, changelings’ natural predator is the Timber wolf, the naturally occurring construct of the forests.
