Is there a way to get rid of baby animals?

[SmugNeko]

I have several baby animals that I have no interest in raising sitting in my trade centre taking up space, and I am starting to run out of space.

If I place the baby animals in a bigger animal's exhibit will they be killed, and if they are, will there be any consequences? I want the little gremlins gone and at this point the lion exhibit is looking like a very appealing solution.

Yeah. They need to let you dump babies even if it costs a bit like rehoming old animals.

put your animals on contraceptives.

My issue is not that I don't want any baby animals being born, It is that I currently have a pile of animals that cannot be removed from my zoo.

Sometimes it's easy to miss a few and get stuck with unwanted animals. It's a pretty steep penalty as it can ruin your entire zoo.

I got stuck like that because when I was building I forgot to put the game on pause I had like 20 peacock babies I just put them in with my lions.

Currently I don't believe there is a way. But honestly, the animals keep it pretty tame as far as I've experience as to how many are in the habitat due to the period of time they have to wait till they can mate again lining up fairly well with the period of time it takes the babies to age up to adulthood so you can get rid of them.
It's really just about paying attention so you know when they're getting ready to mature so you can move them out.

The best advice I can give is to either move them back into their habitat and let them age so that you can move them on out (either through animal trading or to the wild) OR put them into a habitat with a predatory animal (if they're an animal that it'll work on).

Lions work pretty good. Had the bug where I had baby Thompson gazelles in the trade center (0.0 years old) and it wouldn't let me put them into the gazelle enclosure. Putting them to the lions worked, a baby! Lion killed them almost immediately. Good practice for the little guy I guess.
Didn't suffer any negative consequence except for seeing the very twisted corpses of two baby gazelles..

With my warthogs and ostriches that breed like crazy I let them have 2 or 3 broods ( depending on quantity ) and then put them on contraceptives until the babies are grown ... then swap out and keep a new set of adults and start again. The visitors love babies so I keep them, I just have to make sure that there isn't a space issue ( which I am getting because of the giraffes in the same habitat rofl ) . I try to put all the babies on contraceptives too . just in case I miss or am too busy to act on the grow up alert while working elsewhere in the park.

You can put them in a habitat with a lion.

My plan for this is to have a HUGE Africa area that'll have all the animals that can cohabitate together in on habitat.
Only downside I see is the possibility of water problems. But hopefully they actually fixed that and the water treatment facilities can handle it now.

feed them to your lions.
