Important to know!

Slowly introduce unfamiliar plants or amounts into the diet to prevent digestive problems.
This is especially for animals who, up to this point, have been given fresh food in rations. This is because they tend to eat too fast and in too large an amount. Usually the migration works with many small portions given separately over the course of the day. Over time you should slowly increase the volume of each portion.

Fruits

Feed rarely due to their high sugar content. Can be fed as a treat, eg. once a week a slice of apple.

Unsuitable fruits: Eg. exotic fruits (lychee, avocado).
