Petting Zoo – Feeding Permitted!

© Uwe Dillenberg

Brown, black, white and sometimes spotted – our pygmy and Owambo goats love to have their fur rumpled. Our Petting Zoo enables you to stroke and feed these lively animals. Please make sure, however, that you give them only appropriate foods. Our animals love fresh fruit and vegetables, and also enjoy our special, healthy Hagenbeck Animal Food, which is available from the souvenir stands. Please note that pasta and sugar are poisonous to our animals!

Feel free to spoil all our animals, except those in enclosures where feeding is expressly prohibited. The baboons and camels love an extra titbit or two. The Maras, which have the run of the park, can also be tempted by a tasty snack. For their own protection, please make sure that you give these animals only fruit, vegetables or our special Hagenbeck food. They’ll thank you for it!
