Baby Hippo Fiona Starting to Eat Solid Food – Cincinnati Zoo



At this time, care staff is still interacting with Fiona regularly since she is still taking bottles 3 times a day. During those times, we ask her to shift into a separate holding space from the adults and offer her bottles from the other side of the safety bollards (so we aren’t sharing space with her). When she’s finished with the bottles, we spend a little time trying to convince her to eat her fruits (banana and apple) and veggies (lettuce and hay) and her grain. These solid foods will be her “grown up” diet when she is older and off the bottles, hopefully in the next couple of months or so).
