How to stop animals eating meals in a caravan.

[Jesse]

They have 1000 kibble, none has been eaten. Survival meals are too expensive for animals to eat..

I cant say I have ever had an issue with this, but I usually take hay not kibble. Based on that I would assume one of two things; 1) kibble works weird and they dont prioritize it but do prioritize hay, or 2) mod conflict as is tradition

Aniamls in a caravan will graze first if able then eat animal food in order of which it appears on a storage list....if they eat meals then either you have the kibble forbidden, they can graze enough....or you've got a mod issue (maybe the one that allows you to assign food restrictions on animals?)

Animal food restrictions

Its a mod. Allows you to assign food restrictions on animals - just like on colonists.

Edit: Answers loaded only after I'm posted. I can see you got (some) answers. Unfortunately my tablet lost its sanity, I can't delete my post (tablet issues).
So the mod I'm mentioned is the pre request of the mod, what Kitten mentioned.

With that mod, I'd recommend adjusting the default food allocation (Lavish) so that its renamed and edited to suit Animals, then set up separate food restrictions for colonists etc.

The main reason I say this is that any animals who self-tame will take that first one - and you don't want "A rhinoceros has self-tamed" to be code for "A rhinoceros has eaten everything in your base".

Thanks for the help/replies! Animal food restrictions mod fixed the problem :)

Probably just some mod messing with me, since I remember having this problem at least once before with the same mod setup as i have now.
