Eat, You Damn Ibex!

I have become completely obsessed with Zoo Tycoon over the last few days.

It's driving me crazy, but my animals get hungry with food in the cage! Anyone else play and know how to combat this problem?

My in-laws have that game and it is much harder to play then rollercoaster tycoon. We were foreva starving the animals because they would not eat. I think it's some kind of stress level they are experiencing.. but I'm no zoo keeper! LOL

I am just a random visitor, but I was once addicted to...oh who am I kidding! I am addicted to Zoo Tycoon. I've been playing it for 2 months and I still can't figure out the point of the game if the animals are *never* happy. I've found that you need precise placement of the entrance or the zookeepers cannot get in the entrance (I still have no idea what exactly causes it, I think it is a bug because there is nothing in the gate's way), also while putting little islands in the water looks pretty, it makes for disaster later (the zookeepers cannot clean the poo off of it). I've only been able to keep my animals happy after spending thousands on their exhibit and making them mate (only to sell the original animals once the offspring give me a male and a female). I suppose I could have spared this whole paragraph by just saying the animals are incredibly (and that is an understatement) picky about their habitat. I can't even turn a profit (even with selling older animals) without charging my guests 100 dollars per ticket. With all the complaints I still play it because I think it is laced with some form of addictive psychological drug. At least unlike my other 'addiction'(The Sims) the animals don't actually whine audibly. I am sorry this doesn't help. I just hope you experienced these things too otherwise I think I am going mad.
