I don't actually know the answer to that, sorry. When we were viewing the elephant talk and feed, the zoo keeper didn't offer the public the chance to throw the foods into the enclosure. However, visitor rules on their website state "in order to protect animal health and human health, feeding most of the animals is prohibited. However, certain animals are allowed to be fed with zoo biscuits, special fodder sold specifically for that purpose. Warning signs indicate the animals that can be fed." I can imagine the zoo biscuits are for the farm animals. Hopefully that helps!

Hi, I would say I spent about 3 hours there - that's including a stop for lunch. Unfortunately many of the enclosures and the botanical gardens were closed for maintenance, hibernation or the winter so there were many things we weren't able to see but we made the most of it.
We were wanting to go to the zoo on thursday the 6th of august...should we book in advance...or is it easy enough to pay on the day
A:
We never booked. Was really easy to buy tickets on the door in the booth at the entrance. It was really reasonably priced unlike the UK zoos. We had a fab time I'm sure you will also
