Inability to receive breeding specialist reward

Error message: There was a problem fetching your reward.

Also, when I chose a friend to be a breeding specialist, it said something to the effect of error in posting bonus. Assuming she won't be able to get it? Is there a way to remove a specialist and re-inlist them so they can get the award?

Well darn. Because I was scrolling, I thought I had two females, since the prego one loses the pregnancy indicator when scrolling after feeding. Never mind!

Unable to breed female Panda with specialist

I clearly have 2 adult female pandas and 4 adult males. One female is pregnant. When I try to breed via the specialist, it says I do not have an adult unpregnant female and an adult male. With gorillas, I have two females, one pregnant, one not. It recognized the unpregnant one and allowed me to try to breed.

I released two galapagos. The point in releasing is that if I'm set up to save animals, it should be -important- to release animals back into the wild, and therefore rewarded. And I don't release animals unless they are well over a year old. What is the point of "saving the animals" and the nice little note that encouraging you to do so when releasing an endangered species?

Releasing XP points earned need adjustment

Prior to releasing, my exp was 95,328 XP - Level 20
After releasing my exp is: 95,378 XP - Level 20
I gained 50 pts of game XP

My exhibit score was 12498
after releasing, it was 12413
I lost 85 pts of exhibit score

My yearly totals show I earned 835 pts of XP. The 50 pts credited is less than 10% of earned XP. I added no other animals and made no landscaping changes.

My exhibit score lost 85 points to gain me 50 pts of game XP.

63rd Year 2 0 7,477,441 ZB$ 364,859 835

My game is set to save animals, and clearly, I did earn 'some' EX points. But the exhibit points lost were less than the amount of game pts added. Why would I want to do that? There seems to be some missing logic to the equation.

Vetting and feeding percentage

Kudos on letting us see just how hungry or healthy our animals are. That helps!

Pregnancy rates out of whack

I'm down to 1 or 2 pregnancies per zoo year for the past 5 zoo years. That's with 30 species with both male and female animals in the enclosure. So many of my animals have died out that I'm down to one mating pair in 11 of my species. This is not logical or realistic when so many of the species breed easily and have more than one per litter. I'd love to see this tweaked again. Its too frustrating to try to maintain a decent species population when they just die out, and/or are extremely difficult to spot. I just enlarged my zoo and brought some of the species back up to 3 or 4 animals. Since the feed is out of whack and I've had to feed multiple times in the last 2 hours, I'm guessing hand feeding DOES make a difference. I suddenly have 6 pregnancies. (Most being meerkats).

Feeding is out of whack

I hand fed my entire zoo up to not hungry status. 30 minutes later, I had to feed them again, many of them I had to feed several times to bring back up to not hungry status. Now, half hour later, I'm in the same boat. What is going on? This is nuts.

Releasing endangered pointless?

My zoo is set to save animals, but I'm getting dinged for releasing endangered animals. That makes no sense. The act of releasing an endangered animal should be rewarded, not penalized. For example, I released a grizzle and lost 50 exhibit points. This happens with every breed.

Ticket price doesn't affect visitor numbers

Whether I set my ticket price to $1 or $29 (the only price that has ever seemed to make sense) I get the same amount of visitors -- 3000 -- it doesn't budge. That doesn't make sense. Nor does $29 always being the best ticket price. It was the best when I was at 3 star, 4 star, and now 5 star. Guessing that you are working on so many other facets of the game, that this will be handled sooner or later. Just thought it might have dropped through the cracks.

Dawn replied on November 25, 2009 15:56 to the question "My Animals Rarely Breed" in Kramaley Games:

The breeding rate is so low now, the majority of my species are dying off. Meerkats -- usually very easy breeders -- aren't even keeping up with the die off. I see some zoos that seem to have population booms. Is there a specific trick? I tried going with vetting and feeding automatically, but that didn't do anything. Back to hand feeding and vetting, and still, pregnancy rates are abysmal.

Please put back you have placed... totals!

There are way to many items to count, especially when they are hidden by trees. Please give us that feature back.

Now I'm getting this with the cheetah, but only when I try to get a female. Works fine for a male.

Those were the same errors I got when I tried to spot a gorilla this morning. Now I've lost my free spot too!

Snow leopard died early?

Your Snow Leopard has passed away at the age of 19 years.

I feed and vet my animals twice a day. Why would it have died early? They are hard to obtain, and don't reproduce easily, so I hate to lose one early. The info on snow leopards says they live to 27.
