Healthy Ways To Interact With Petting Zoo Animals

The next time when you plan to meet animals through a petting zoo by inviting them on a birthday party or corporate events, try to make animals happy. The objective of petting zoo is to foster a sense of care and kindness among people so contribute to this objective by developing a bond with the animals. Here’s how you can make a friendly move towards Austin petting zoo animals:

1. Make a slow approach 

Don’t run towards the animals and don’t let your kids do the same. It’s obvious that kids get excited when they first see animals and run straight to them. But it’s important to keep them calm and approach animals slowly. Animals don’t like to interact with humans when pursued.

2. Petting is fine

Grabbing or holding the animals is a very unfriendly attitude towards animals. They don’t like it all. Petting or brushing on the back or shoulders of animals is fine. They like the gentle touch, not the aggressive pull.

3. Stay with children when they interact with animals 

Always keep children within arms reach and teach them to behave gently with animals. Sitting or lying on animals is a strict no. Animals like friendly interactions.
