I need Yeti help

[Guest missladyhawke]

I have tried to put Yeti's in my zoo's and I am having problems keeping them happy. I am currently working on a new Mythical Zoo right now with Bigfoot, Unicorn, Loch Ness Monster and a Yeti. I have read a lot of the guides out there and they all say the same thing, which I am doing. Tundra, grey stone, rocks, snowy rock cave, elevation, the zookeeper says that the exhibit is suitable for the Yeti, but he can't seem to be happy, is this normal? Any advice?

sometimes animals that get unhappy don't ever seem to get happy again. make a small exhibit and put your unhappy yeti in it. then delete the exhibit fence so the zookeeper will crate him up. then when you put her/him back in its original exhibit, the happiness is reset.
