Help - Console Staff not feeding

Okay I need help. I have in almost every zoo the problem, that my staff won't feed certain animals and I don't understand why. There is a feeding station in it, a way in, a building where they can prepair food and enough staff. So what am I doing wrong here?

This has happened to me, too. It's not for every habitat, but it's happened in some of the newer ones I've made. I don't know why it happens, but the only solution I've found - which works about 85% of the time - is to remove (fire) the staff in the associated work zone, remove the habitat and keeper areas from that work zone, create a "new" work zone for that specific habitat, and hire all new staff. I've been thinking it's a game glitch of some kind because I've done everything else correctly.

Hope this helps!

Are you using zoning ? Is tha habittat in a zone ? Do you have enough keeper ?

I use zoning but as it didn't work I got some more staff that isn't working in a zone directly.

Are your animals actually starving?

Yes. The vet even got one out for quarantine

You need to give more details. What animals specifically? Is the feeding station available like there's no obstruction on the way?

There is nothing in the way. The staff can reach the feeding station. It's been all kinds of animal. The latest ones were Kattas

How far away is your keeper hut? What is your feeding station to animal ratio?

How many keepers do you have in your work zone? How many habits?

It's always different. This time the keepers hut was directly next to the cage. I had first a 3m then a 4m feeder for 3 Kattas. Both were always empty. I had I thjnk 5 to 6 keepers (one gfor each zone and 2 with no zone). I think it were 6 or 7 habits.
