As an ex-zookeeper, Yes, because of multiple reasons.
A) Seasonal vegetables are cheap and often donated B) Seasonal items increase social media activity. C) Seasonal items are typically in-line with natural cycles that align with wild animals.
There's literally no downside. Financial benefit, social benefit, and benefits to the well-being for the animal.
Stay back from my pumpkin. I am eating here!
That pumpkin looks so small in his big ass mouth
I am very glad.
Hell yes.
Enjoy that pumpkin, king.
The San Diego zoo is the best zoo I've ever been to. The animals there seem very well taken care of.
