yes exactly
most animals what i see in their indoor/outdoor enclosures, overall they seem to enjoy it, and are well taken care off by employees, some also get extra toys such as footballs, or hamsterballs (and then food stuffed in them) that latter more for apes, as a sort of puzzle i had seen
the staff even provide with sort of birthday cakes out of fruit/vegetables/ice on any animal their birthdays
