CARROTS, CARROTS AND MORE CARROTS

Did you know that the nine animals in the Petting Farm at Fort Zion and The Virgin Trading Post are responsible for eating close to a whopping 5,000 lbs carrots every season?

For a dollar, visitors can buy three carrots to feed to any of our nine animals - whether it's Sundance the miniature donkey, or Sampson, Buffy and their friends the Alpacas.

On average, every month they consume around twelve 50 lbs boxes, which equates to around 4,800 lbs during our eight month opening season.

Naturally we also feed them a balanced diet suitable for their species so they don't only consume carrots.

From the photos you post we can see just how much they love getting their carrots from you, our visitors.
