Considerations of a feeding plan.
- Medication
- Some animals hate taking
medication, so as a way of
getting it in to their
stomach's, we can crush
up their tablets and mix it
in with their food so they
can't taste it, or if It is a
liquid then we can put it in
their drink, water or for
kitten's 'Kitten milk'.

- Natural feeding
- In captive, animals should still
have the ability to show some
natural behaviours whilst eating.
This could be from a lion eating a
freshly killed deer, as it will still be
moving slightly and will still smell
alive, to a dog in a pack in a house
experiencing a fight over the food
due to hierarchy.

- Quality
- Some animals
have a weak
immune system
meaning they
can not digest
cheap food. They
need good
quality food in
order to keep
their stomach's
happy.

- Size of cut food
- The food needs to be
cut to the size of the
animals' mouth
otherwise they will
not be able to
consume it. For
instance for the t they
can not consume food
wider or longer than
their beaks as their
throats are very small
so they wont be able
to swallow it and they
will choke.

- Chopping board
- Colour coordinated
chopping boards, red for
meat, blue for fish and
green for fruit and veg.

- Amount of food
- This is how much they get
fed. For instance rabbits and
guinnea pigs get 40g of pellets
a day each, however this
could be topped up if needs
be (adlib) and they also get
fruit and veg on top of that.

- Right food
- It has to be the
right food for the
animal as there is
no point in giving
a kitten adult dog
food.

- How it's presented
- This is where you don't
just put food in a bowl.
For instance for the
lemurs you could make
fruit kebabs to make
them work for the food,
by climbing and getting
the food off the rope.

- Additives + supplements
- If an animal doesn't want to eat it's food, you can
add an additive of supplement to make it taste
better making them want to eat it.

- Preporation
- This is where you
decide if the foods need
to be prepared the
night before or if it is a
matter of just grabbing
it in the morning. For
instance the lemurs
need to have their food
prepared the night
before as then feeding
time in the morning
with be sooner,
whereas the otter has a
fish which can be
grabbed in the morning
from the freezers.

- Alternatives
- This could involve
giving the animal
sweet fruit instead
of treats as it is a
healthy
alternative and
doesn't make
them put on much
weight.

- Feeding method
- This could be given to the
animal in the form of
enrichment. Therefore food
could be scattered around the
enclosure and hidden. This
could also be in the form of fruit
kebabs for instance for the
lemurs. I t is just a new way of
presenting the food to the
animal to help with exercise.

- Diets
- If an animal is on a
diet make sure they
are getting the
correct nutrients
however no more
food than they are
allowed to follow
their dietary plans.

- Allergies
- Make sure you
do not feed the
animals anything

Most animals
have an allergy
to avocado.

- Shape/size of food container
- If you give a kitten a full
grown dog's bowl full of
food, the kitten will not be
able to get to it's food easily

- Storage
- How is it stored? For otters in
captive, the fish for them is
usually kept in a freezer to keep
it cold and fresh. Whereas the cat
biscuits for the marmosets are
kept in a container in the
cupboard so that they are kept
dry

- Time of feed
- Day or night, AM or
PM. Due to the
animal being
nocturnal or diurnal.
A hedgehog is

otter is diurnal.
