    You could try placing a keeper in the enclosure, though they should automatically feed the animals. If you need information concerning Zoo Tycoon, it would be better to post on a Zoo Tycoon forum.

    There was a great fourm called zoo admin, but it has seemed to have disappeared. I know it change hands because the original owner was giving up his network of sites.

    Anyway as bongorob said you would be best post of a Zoo tycoon website, however if you want to PM me i could prob help with alot of the questions you have.

    I know on the original zoo tycoon you have to assign keepers to an animal.. do it by clicking on keepers. but don't assign the one keeper to too many animals...

    Zoo Admin is still going, but they are having trouble getting the new site up and running. I've had plenty of help from them in the past.

    ..::

    The above dots constitute the link. The address is zooadmin . org (without the gaps, if I type it properly I just get the dots again.

    i would gather it was zoo tycoon 1 due to the fact you cannot but food in the first one!

    I know what your getting at because the keepers ZT2 are hopeless.

    Just casually reviving a 10 year old thread....

    The question relates to Zoo Tycoon 1 (Marine Mania) as animals cannot be removed due to poor treatment in Zoo Tycoon 2. They can't in Zoo Tycoon 1, but add the expansion pack for Marine Mania and they soon will.

    Zoo keepers in Zoo Tycoon 1 are more problamatic in my opinion. They can't cope with more than three small exhibits or one large one and cost a lot to employ.

    In Zoo Tycoon 2, it's simple, just don't build a gate to your enclosures. The zoo keeper will happily spend years trapped in the enclosure with whatever is in there and work with dedication and efficiency. If you choose to let them free roam, and I don't know why you would, then I'd advise against building a staffroom. All employees head there at the slightest sign of there being no work and then refuse to leave when there'swork to be done.

    I'm an old fan of the original zoo tycoon (1).Just curious about ZT1 main fansite called Zootek Phoenix.Went to visit it recently and my web browser came up with the 'this website might contain a virus or phishing attempts-Proceed at your own risk' Anyone aware of this?

    I really should try this game, it sounds very much like my kind of thing. When I was about nine or ten years old, I used to absolutely love Rollercoaster Tycoon and I was pretty good at it, too. These days I don’t have anywhere near enough distraction in my life to help me to relax and de-stress; something like this could actually do me some good!

    I wasted many happy hours of my younger years playing zoo tycoon 2: ultimate collection. I recently tried to install it from the disc onto my Windows 10 laptop, but couldn't get it to run. I'm assuming it's to do with operating system compatibility.

    No, it plays fine on Windows 10.
