More options for Sandbox Mode please!!!

I would personally love the options to turn off inbreeding and enrichment decay for animals in at least Sandbox mode.
Both are terribly annoying!
I know I can turn off breeding entirely but then I won't have any babies and using the pill I always forget about it until I have no animals left in an enclosure because they all died...
That and Enrichment decay, while it does make sense, can be tedious once you get a bigger zoo going. I don't have time to worry about your toy needs that I don't even have a notification for, I already have more important stuff to worry about!

Also, mini exhibit animals don't list their children or parents so if my beetles breed to heck and back I have little to no way to tell who the original parents were.
It would also be nice to have the "Save and Quit" and "Save and Quit to Main Menu" options in Sandbox like in Franchise. Surprised they're different at all.

Edit:
Would be nice to be able to turn off "Death from Fighting" too as I personally don't mind my animals fighting for alpha or something, but don't want my animals dying over it.

It's always the youngest animals. You can trade out exhibit animals at 0.0 years of age because they don't 'mature' like habitat animals. Plus (and I'm not sure if this applies to all exhibit animals) with the golden poison frog they seem to stop producing offspring when their exhibit gets to max capacity (I assume this is because they produce so many, unlike the snakes and lizards, but it might also be a bug).

The frogs will over populate their enclosure eventually. It just takes an awful lot of them since they're so small.
The mini exhibits will over populate and send you a massive warning that the exhibit is overpopulated and there's no space and the wellfair drops to 0. I had to get rid of like... 20 beetles just to satisfy the space need eventually. And it took forever!
I no longer have mini exhibits. They're not worth it.

My golden frogs capped at their max population (11, I think). Every time I got a breeding notification thereafter, no more babies appeared. As I said, I don't know whether this was a bug or intentional but that's what happened.

As to the rest, just stop breeding them. Only have males or females. None of the exhibit animals exhibit significant sexual dimorphism anyway, so it really shouldn't matter.

I did use the pill on them but then they died of old age so quick that I had to buy new ones because the exhibit was empty after like... 20 minutes.
They just breed so much and die so quick that it's not worth it anymore.
The cap would be nice for the invertebrates though.
