Okay my giraffes (both types of them) are just playing and neglecting eating, drinking, etc.  And they dont get happy.

you seem to have alot of problems. Maybe putting them in one thread would be easier. Maybe your disc is screwed up? Are you sure you have the right types of food and are not just seeing when they eat or drink? Are you new to this game?

Sometimes giraffes are "over playful" usually when this happens I split the exhibit and let them eat and drink etc. then take away the fence and let them play.

I've had that problem too.  I also noticed it with ring-tailed lemurs.  Just picking them up and putting them back down stops them from chasing for a while.  I'm thinking having a bigger exhibit with more area for the animal might prevent this, as my guess is it's a bug with the game when there's not much room for the animals to maneuver.  Is your giraffe exhibit fairly cramped or really big?

I've seen that too.  If they get stuck running in circles, just pick one up and move it.  Also try making a bigger cage for them.

They do this to me sometimes too. I recommend placing different types of zookeeper recommended food in their habitat, and put the giraffes in groups of 3-6, then let them expand from there. :cool:
