Can we feed the animals?

All of our animals are on a strict diet and we ask our visitors to not feed our animals anything - including grass. Please understand that you can cause severe health problmes and in the rare cases - death - if anything that the animal doesn't usually have is fed to them. Fresh, lush grass can cause problems such as bloat, choke and colic with most of our animals.
