Keepers not Feeding

[Rocky]

The game doesn't seem to be detecting the Feeders i put in the Habitats, So my animals never get fed I've tried moving them and replacing them etc (It is the correct type of feeder for the animals)
Does anyone know how i can fix this? its incredibly annoying.

Are you guys putting food toys down too early? I found if I put down a food toy before a keeper has filled the food tray at least once, the keeper will never fill the food tray and animals starve. This was an older bug that I thought got fixed, but maybe it came back?

So this might be part of the problem. The zoo keepers will refill the enrichments but not food trays.

Also make sure you have enough keeper huts if you only have small ones only one keeper can fit in it at a time.

Has anyone found a solution for this yet? Or at least a reason that the keepers aren't immediately filling feeders? I was told by someone that it could be because there isn't enough animals in the enclosure to make the keeper fill the feeders or because you were using Sandbox mode. However the animals still get hungry in sandbox mode so they still need feeding, and I had a pride of eight lions and don't remember seeing their feeder filled once by staff.

Currently the only way Im keeping my animals alive is with food enrichments the keepers only seem to actually feed them if i do that.

Same thing happened to me in my main franchise zoo yesterday.
after the first lemur died I quickly saved and quit. I came back later and started a new zoo to start switching everyone over as I didnt want to lose my main project animals due to income ones. And after reloading my main zoo and emptying out the problem enclosure by sending all my lemurs to storage, the staff started feeding everyone again after I called them to the none lemur enclosures again. So maybe clear out the starving animals quickly and just restart the game or play another zoo thats working? It's a weird bug and I've lost 2 zoo's to it already..

I also have more then enough staff. I have 1 designated keeper for each enclosure and a few free roaming ones to pick up the slack. I also have 1 large keeper hut for ever 2 enclosures. Plus this is a zoo I've put most of my time into, and I bought this game when it came out so it's an older zoo thats been running just fine till yesterday. And the animals affected were the second creatures I have ever added to this zoo. So these animals have been just fine and their home unchanged for actual months of gameplay.

This bug seems to hit or miss people, goodness knows what triggers it but it can ruin everything in a really short amount of time and it's extremely frustrating..

Still bugged, can't find a solution to this. Actually, game is not playable

[FiReMachineGUN]

Yeah same problem for me. This bug must be fix it.

I'm having the same issue. Right now, the game is unplayable for me :(. I hoped to play PZ a lot this past week (had a week off) and get some recording done, but... nope.

Try putting in just enrichment feeders see if that works.

This seems to work randomly. They will fill the bird slow feeders, but nothing else for me.

How many keepers do you have and train your staff

[Alienne]

i had a feeding bug and I found the keeper who was scheduled to collect food had got stuck inside the small keeper hut, and was blocking access to the other keepers - fixed by removing the keeper hut then undoing the removal.

[JennRiot42]

YES. AND YES.

My zoo is sying of starvation since this last update, yesterday.
Yes my game is running smoothly, but my animals dying is no fun at all.
I've tried it all, but nothing solved it.

Also having that issue with workers not finding staff rooms, but they are all empty. After 10 seconds the notification disappears, but keepps on appearing, its reeeeeeeeeeeeally annoying.
