In captivity hibiscus flowers are an all-round favourite for all sloths! Two-fingered sloths enjoy carrots as well, but wild sloths are quite picky eaters and prefer only certain types of leaves. Young almond leaves are usually a winning choice for wild two-fingered sloths. Three-fingered sloths are big fans of a type of tree called Cecropia. They enjoy the leaves but the absolute favourite is the seed pods!
I'm a friendly, non-dev, cisgender guy from NC who enjoys playing music/making noise, hiking, eating veggies, and hanging out with my best friend/wife + our 3 kitties + 1 greyhound.
Thank you for doing this!
What do Sloths seem to enjoy eating the most? Any special treats?

Just wanted to add a little evidence that sloths love carrots with a video my wife filmed from her phone whilst working with a sloth!
