Wondering what your largest habitats are that function without any starving notifications or feeding issues. I have a 28,000 meter squard enclosure. With feeders spread out, often my keeper is late with food and walks across the entire habitat to the far away food only to take a route that lasts minutes while animals are starving. I have three keepers and one vet on this enclosure only. Any advice? Currently I have to quarantine starving animals when this occurs.
Largest functioning habitat?

I've had a Project to build a very big Enclosure for Zebras and some other Animals. It is good to place every Feeding trough near each other.

I know how difficult it can be to maintain such a big Enclosure. I've had a lot of Problems with the Elephant-Enclosure in my old Zoo. I would really like something like Staff-Vehicles for big Enclosures. It wouldn't need much Space. It would only be necessary to place a small Garage near the Gate, so they can almost immediately after entering the Enclosure drive to every Feeding-Area.
