Looking for animal diets?

The most appropriate diet for your animal is one that accounts for its nutritional, husbandry, behavioral, and clinical needs as well as individual preferences.

Therefore, we do not publish “standard” diets. Instead, we provide resources to help nutritionists develop diets.

We strongly encourage you to consult with or hire a zoo nutritionist to develop an appropriate diet plan for your animal.
