Babies filling up animal storage, make it possible to sell them for cash
We should be able to just quick sell the babies for cash, because they are currently filling up my storage and I have no where to place them.

There is a difference between exhibit births and habitat births. When the animal is born in an exhibit it is ready to breed and thus is classed as an adult from the moment it is born. Look at the age arrow. Habitat babies are babies and unable to breed. They can’t be compared for that reason.

I understand the reason people would like this option but maybe better for sandbox. Or as a number filter for performance basis, similar to guest count. Say only have x babies in a habitat. The game can simply stop the animals reproducing until the limit is not reached. But this can currently be managed by the player.

As with any management game you have to think ahead. One of the hints that appear are to think ahead when children are born and prepare space for it either in the zoo or in storage for when they mature.

Yes, although babies don’t take space they do take food. If I find I have too many babies food wise, I remove the adults.

Babies are a boost to donations so you want to keep a steady supply to keep the people happy. So, if you have too many remove some and switch them out when the first batch grow up.

Let them grow up in your zoos then you can trade sell release when they mature as required.

As XrystalBelle said, just let them grow up the the habitats. Juvenile animals don't count towards the herd limit size for animals. So you can have like 100 juvenile Indian Peafowl for example, and it won't affect the adults.

You should be able to just sell them, Like I said, I have no where to put them, and I really cbf building a whole new enclosure for babies lol.

You can't sell babies and why you would take them away from their parents before they mature... Well, I just can't think why you would do that.

Not really.... Because then people could just set up a ton of mini-farms and make a ton of easy cash. Allowing people to sell brand new juvenile animals would break the games balance.

^ Yeah it would. Very badly. Also has to be said that guest reactions are probably affected in a good way by the baby animals. I think the level of donations would be affected too.

so they are just gonna sit in my animal storage forever with no way to remove them from my zoo, awesome, I mean they could at least let us idk maybe put them up for adoption or somthing without getting cash or points

Yea... already told the OP that... I don't think they get it since they keep saying that the "only thing" they can do is keep them in storage.....

Just leave them in the habitat, don't move them at all :) The game is meant to be realistic and in real life the babies stay with their parents until mature enough to fend for themselves. This is a different amount of time depending on the animal type (so is the length of pregnancy different). Just leave them where they are. They are no good to you whatsoever in the trade centre but while they're not in the habitat you are probably losing money. You may even end up with protesters because of your poor treatment of animals :) :)

Feed them to the lions.

I would just leave the offspring in their mothers habitat until they mature, but if you have to get rid of the offspring you could feed them to hungry lions. I think its a bad idea but it can be done.

The game is simulating the fact that offspring cannot be rehomed until they are mature enough to leave their parents. Plus the fact that zoos tend to focus on breeding viable stock not on fullfilling the pet trade. So yep you can't pass them on until they are mature, then you can sell/release them.

The other option is to set your male/females to use contraceptives in your pens so that you don't produce any offspring.
If you take them away from there mums and dads, well thats just animal crultey man!! (:O

If you don't want to have to "deal with" baby animals in the first place, put all of your animals on contraceptives so they don't reproduce. Duh!

Just letting you all know that other animals have been known to foster other animals unwanted babies of the same species, so I don't see why adopting them out to another zoo is such a bad idea, But yes I understand that the game is "simulating" the realism in it, and yes I know I could just create an enclosure for the babies, however, I don't want to, I honestly think the devs could add so many quality of life stuff in the game like for the fact, that I cant' just create a prebuilt square enclosure. but instead I have to make my own fence by fence, and then can't even move or rotate the damn thing when I'm done, so It's some janky ass fence that isn't even lined up right next to the path, it's just the small things that tick me off, so many things they could add to just add the quality of life stuff, I mean I could list them all but I'd be going off topic.
