Animals eating guest food.

Helena · Dec 6, 2019

Hello!
In yesterday I noticed for first time my animals getting sick from eating guests food. And from there it happened again and again.

What triggers this and what can I do to minimize? I have put up a lot of "do not feed"-signs but it seems not to be working.

How do the guests feed the animals? I do not have any fences with mesh/holes. Maybe they lob it over the fence?

How tall is the fence and is it one that they could throw trash "through"?

In addition to the do not feed signs, having enough security guards can help with this. I've only ever had guests feed my animals one time though, so I'm no expert.

It is brick wall all around with some "null" segments that are covered by buildings. 2m tall.
I have a number security guards.

In this recent play session I did not have any guest feeding. Interesting!

i don't know how this actually happens. just use the "don't feed the animals sign" in front of the barriers and you're set

Is there a garbage can alongside the barrier that sometimes overfills? Maybe the trash clips through the barrier and the animals are eating it.

You can also try putting some security cameras around the habitat to compliment the "No Feeding" signs. Hopefully that will help your security guards catch these fools!

Place a security camera and add it to the patrol route of the guard. Do not forget to train your guards, so they suck a little less. They are cheap anyway

Thanks for the Information that Animals can get sick from eating Food from Guests. My Juvenile Indian Rhinoceros just ate Food from a Guest. It also happened a lot with the Wolves in my old Zoo but it never happened that a Animal was sick after it, so I thought it maybe isn't implemented yet. I will add a Sign to the Enclosure. It is really easy to feed the Rhino's because there is no real Fence on the Indoor-Enclosure, just some Rocks
