Food is ordered in huge quantities from a variety of sources. Local produce companies deliver fresh fruits and vegetables, bales
of hay come from ranches in Eastern Oregon, monkey chow is shipped from specialized feed companies, and meat arrives in giant
frozen logs. Our carnivores - the meat eaters - are the most expensive animals to feed.

Most of our larger animals have an indoor area where they have a private dining spot to be sure each gets their fair share of food. It
also allows the keepers to be sure they are eating their full amount. If an animal doesn't, it may be a sign they are not feeling well or
they don't like a particular food.
