Behind the Scenes: The Science of Feeding Wildlife in Captivity

Feeding may look routine, but in wildlife parks, zoos, and rehabilitation centers, it is one of the most vital parts of animal care. Before animals are active, caretakers carefully prepare diets, check water, and observe feeding behavior—steps essential for health and welfare.

In the wild, animals eat according to instinct and evolution. In captivity, they rely entirely on humans to replicate those natural diets. This requires accurate knowledge of species-specific nutrition and behavior.

Our upcoming blog series will share practical, science-based guidance on feeding wildlife and domestic species. By aligning captive diets with natural needs, we can improve welfare, prevent nutritional problems, and support conservation.

Nutrition isn’t just a task—it’s the foundation of responsible care
