take note of bold letters and I will give another message to help you with Giraffs specifically k
The most important thing about Zoo rating--- is you cant do it fast-- it is like growing a plant-->>
To raise Zoo Rating Includes a number of things-->>
the 3 meters at the bottom of your screen--
Gate, animals and guest
the fuller they are the better - who to do that isnt so easy--- first the
Gate -- Gate fees are set in catigories-- free($0), very cheap($0.25-$9), cheap($9.25-$19), Normal ($19.25-$29), expensive ($29.25-$49), very expensive ($49.25 and over)
these catagorys effect your Zoo-- your gate fee is $22.?? at the start-- I suggest changing this to $29 right away-- at this point you dont need guests-- cause you dont have animals as you build you will need guests at that point you want to change the fee again to $19 -- dont bother with setting it at $25 or $22 cause that is the same as leaving it at $29-- that is why I had you raise it to begin with--- dont lower the gate fee if you dont have to though ok
Also make sure you arent lossing lots of money on particular food stands or Attractions-- it is best to set these prices at 75% of the start price
Animals -- the Happiness of your animals is the whole point of your Zoo there are a lot of points to this one--
1) make sure all animals are getting cared for --fed and cleaned up after
2) ask for Zoo Keeper recomendations-- and fix the ones in red first -- but read everything before fixing anything-- ((it may say in red that there is too much grass-- but in black it may say needs dirt -- basically replace some grass with dirt))
3) after Zoo Keeper recomends that the exhibit is well suited for the animal-- check back with him later-- also ask for each animal in the exhibit-- each animal has its own needs also-- one might need a mate you never know
4)to stop crowding (too many animals in one exhibit) --- ** Do Not Sell Baby Animals -- instead sell all but 2 male and 2 female adults and keep all babies (NOTE: I suggest 4 male and 4 female adults for endangered Species, generally)
5) Note: that where I have stated Zoo Keeper above is-- a Marine Biologist for aquatic animal exhibits and a Scientist for dino exhibits
Last but not least
Guests-- the hardest to please-- how-->>
1) 35% --make sure the gate meter is high
2) 35% -- make sure the animal Meter is High
3) 30% -- make sure their needs are met -- for example -- batrooms, food services, benches everywhere, trash cans where needed and lots of decoration (after all the came to enjoy the natural beauty of wildlife) Also needed are the Atractions --like an animal theater or carousel
High Happiness rated Items--Turtle fountain, Duck Pond,Brick Wall, carousels, Japanese Gardens
medium Happiness Items --Big horn statue, elephant fountain,picket Fence, cast Iron fence, petting Zoo, Animal Theater, Aviary, Animal Theater
place less of--
trash cans --- by using resteraunts instead
Trash all over -- it is better to have trash cans
Compost building--- I hind this in a corner at least 10 or more squares away from anywhere a guest will wonder to--- build a mote if ya have to hehehe the compost doesnt require much of a road any way hehe -- In my best Zoo I created an ashphalt road that leads all the way down to my compost building -- stuck in a corner next to a large stone exibit-- then I roped off the road hehehe
well I sure hope this all helped
