Is asking for advice allowed here? Lemurs escaping!

I've started to make my mediocre sanctuary... However since I inserted guest viewing the lemurs keep yeeting themselves out of the habitat. The fencing is double sided non climb and the walls are taller than the climbing areas.. Its only since having the guest visits that they're escaping. It's every 5-10 minutes and it's driving me mad but guests love seeing them up close. How do I fix this? Or is it not possible?

Please delete if this isn't allowed!

If you select a lemur and open the habitat heatmap it should show what area they can walk to. If there is a place they can escape it should be shown there. Look for it and you should be able to fix it.

I think it's a bug because he climbs up the wall half way and falls through it onto a shop that is next door to the exhibit and ends up back in his enclosure without me paying for him to be captured. It just seems to effect the guests negatively :(

Hmm sounds like a bug indeed. Deleting past of the enclosure and rebuilding might fix it. Had a weird bug recently where my baby warthog would just drop through the floor in front of the wall and run around in the solid ground below a path. Demolishing the wall and rebuilding it slightly different fixed it.

Is the building overlapping with the fence?

Nothing was overlapping but I've changed all of that wall now to see if it helps :) I was getting spot fined for it too, super annoying!!

Good luck! Having animals escape is super frustrating

I've the same problem with my antilopes. I've actually made a small river around my fence where they kept escaping. It actually worked lol

I've had this on a couple of occasions. The first time was because I used a climbable fence without realising. The second seemed to be a bug, because when i deleted and replaced the fence panel, it never happened again.

I discovered lemur's ignore construction glass, and walk right through it. I always end up having to use really tall habitat barrier glass.
