How to feed us right

Feeding animals is a lot of fun and we'd like to make that possible. But you have to be aware that not everything is good for them. So please find below a list of food that are good for our animals. Please take into account that the animals are fed by various people. So even if you give them just a little it adds up and might be harmful for them.

Donkeys

Donkeys are desert animals and therefore good feed converters which mean they don't need a lot of food. Too much or wrong feed can make them fat or lead to colics or hoof diseases. They mostly eat hay and straw, bark, sticks and twigs and - as a special treat and only in moderation - a carrot or an apple.

Allowed

Hay, straw, bark, sticks, twigs, grass

Only in moderation

Apples, carrots, beets, beetroot

Not allowed

Bread, too much fruit, other treats

Sheep

The sheep find everything they need on the pastures. Additionally, they get hay and straw from us.

 

Allowed

Grass, hay, straw, carrots

Only in moderation

Apples, beets, beetroot

Not allowed

Bread, other treats

Fallow dear

The fallow dear mostly eat grass but also hay and straw.

 

Allowed

Grass, hay, apples, acorns, chestnuts, dry corn cobs

Only in moderation

Carrots, beets, lettuce

Not allowed

Bread and other treats
