Hello!
It's hot in the daytime and cold in the morning and evening, and the temperature changes drastically.
Don't you lose your appetite when it's hot and you only drink water?
When it's like that, you want to eat what you like.
This time I would like to introduce what animals like!
The animals at Tategamori Ark Ranch include pigs, chickens, ponies, deer, sheep, and rabbits.
Ponies, deer, sheep, and rabbits are herbivores, so their main diet is grass.
They are fed ad libitum pasture grass, fresh grass cut elsewhere and hay in winter.
In addition, we also give highly nutritious feed containing grains such as corn and wheat, called concentrated feed (mixed feed), at a fixed frequency and amount.
This bait seems to be very delicious, and when the time comes and the staff goes, everyone will come to you.
I love food from vending machines, but ponies and rabbits seem to prefer the grains inside the monaka.
*Do not feed pigs or birds.
Also, ponies like sweets, so they love carrots.
However, if I eat too much of it, I get a severe stomachache, so I only give a little as a reward or snack.
Herbivores mainly eat grass, but there are edible and inedible grasses, some of which are poisonous.
Please do not give grass that you do not understand well.
At the "Gohan no Jikan" held on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, you can see how they feed their favorite food.
The deer in the distance and the ponies in the hut will all come to you♪
