A huge fruit and vegetable mooncake was specially made for the hippo family, filled with their favorites — apples, grapes, watermelon, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, pumpkins, alfalfa, and pelleted mixed feed.

Mooncakes made of various wild vegetables, combined with cornmeal, wheat bran, and soybean meal, offered different healthful flavors for the elks.

The groundhogs received corn and cereal mooncakes, which focus on nutrition and flavor, and can help them maintain their dental health.
