How much time do keepers spend scooping poop? How much time each day do keepers spend feeding the animals?
For most zookeeping positions, preparing diets for the animals and cleaning up after them can take up to 75% of each day. As previously mentioned, there is little to no contact with the animals depending on what type of animals are being cared for, though keepers do spend some of their time observing the animals under their care for any indications of health problems or unusual behavior.
