Young animals - How to get rid of them

[Bobfromacounting]

So I'm 40 years in, $1,400,000 in the bank, loads of Albino Lions, Yet I'm trying to get rid of my warthogs and my Salt water crocodiles, I've got rid of all the mature animals yet I can't seem to find a way to get rid of the babies / young animals, It takes 9-11 years for a croc to mature and I want to get rid of the enclosure, I can't send them to my trade pile or delete them. Have I missed something or isn't there a way?
Thanks for the replies
Bob.

just put a lion in the pen and let it go to town on them

I havent found a way. Maybe put a lion in the warthog enclosure ;)

The game won't let you kill or trade babys, i think it's a moral decision. But you should be still able to send them to your trade center to put them back later on - i've done this a many times.

If you like to stop them making more babys, just enable the brith control pill.

Another thing, I've literally spent the last 10-15 years focusing on breeding, Elephants, Lions, cheetahs, Rhinos... I was at 1,4m I'm currenly losing between 50-150k a year so I'm currently going out of buisness and I have no idea why, I had 27 lions mature and infants, a lot of them are Albino, I've had to reduce the food level from 3 to 1 to try to reduce the money I'm spending yet, I'm still losing 70k+ a year, anyone know why? I've got 42k concervative points aswell.

Lions eat a ton. I think females even eat more after birth.

There seems to be a limit on how many animals can be in the trade center. I don't recall for sure what it is ... I think it is 30 but I ran into that problem with the darn turtles .... they take forever to mature ..... had to put mine on birth control.

Yeah I presumed It was he lions, I've just got rid of most over the age of 8, I've got 1 male rest are female... I have loads of Albinos and VERY good rating ones, higher ratings eat more? I wouldn't presume so?

[River Otter]

I highly doubt ratings has anything to do with food.

I doubt it aswell, I've just decided to get rid of all my non albino females, which has left me with 4 females, 1 male and loads of cubs waiting to mature in the enclosure + spare male albino just incase my current stud dies early on, I appreciate all the advice guys / girls / or what ever you assign yourself!

I think one of the misconceptions people have in this game, is they look at the in-game wiki where it says how many of each you can have in a Habitat, and go OOOH, then proceed to get all of them. The problem is, it shows how many you can, not should. You need a really good income to get to those numbers with meat eaters especially. Which means you need more guests, and more animals of different types to attract those guests and get the donations, which are your life blood.

It can be done, but you better be prepared, because an influx of babies at the same time CAN kill a Zoo.
Whens the last time you saw an entire pack, let alone 27+, at a real life Zoo? lol

I just built a separate maturing habitat for my salties. It's a lagoon wrapped around the flamingo mud flats. Guests walk in and out over an ivy covered bridge. It would be a gold fish lagoon except we don't have those, so instead they get immature crocs to walk over.

I haven't gone into lions yet.

I know what you're saying, I had a random Albino Male Lion from a mating session of my normal lions and I liked the look, so I've now gone for a full Albino male lion enclosure, currently got 11 from selling the rest I've gone up to 54k CC points, which I feel has ruined the game for me now, I can buy what ever, I'm making money again, was costing me 250k a year in food for lions alone! Probably didn't help I had 49 vendors.

I'm sure they have some sort of plan for CC, later. Hopefully an open market with no caps.
