I don't actually know the answer to that, sorry. When we were viewing the elephant talk and feed, the zoo keeper didn't offer the public the chance to throw the foods into the enclosure. However, visitor rules on their website state "in order to protect animal health and human health, feeding most of the animals is prohibited. However, certain animals are allowed to be fed with zoo biscuits, special fodder sold specifically for that purpose. Warning signs indicate the animals that can be fed." I can imagine the zoo biscuits are for the farm animals. Hopefully that helps!

Hi Ariadna, We have visited the Budapest ZOO several times and have always found something intriguing and learned something new. In addition, there are other activities available at the Zoo. Furthermore, you can feed the animals or observe how they feed them. You can stay a whole day, but bellow several hours (5 hours) don't count on it, and that is if you fly through the Zoo. And be sure to explore "secret" passages and all the houses. Yes, Budapest has a lot of fantastic attractions and things to offer, but the ZOO & Botanical Garden is at the top of the list for sure, regardless of age.
