What happens when no gardens have bamboo? How do we get more food?

You can ask at the forums under garden setup on the top right if someone would set up for bamboo. It would not have to be a giant panda...if they plant bamboo and have it fully grown and attract something black and white like the skunk, then if you have a fully grown bamboo in your garden, and spot the skunk...you will get organic bamboo on an empty plate in your garden.

Be very careful about  that.  I asked under garden setup for someone to set up for bamboo and got a warning because they had been advertising but did NOT have any bamboo left on their table.

I just checked and there are gardens currently advertising they are set up but don't have any food on their tables.  There is no "no food" icon for those gardens in the Wildlife Guide.

Thank you ladies 🤗 but yeah, the black n' white critters like skunk etc only put out 5 feed plates.. once all double food bamboo plates in other garden run out, how do we get double plates ever again?

All you can do is wait and keep checking to see if anyone is attracting the giant panda, gorilla or red panda....while the gorilla and red panda do not drop food...the giant panda shows up on those platters as well. Do not discount the power of the ringle organic...there might be fewer feeds...but with a good setup, you can have success. Maybe someone will see your worry here and set up for you. And Marie is right...if there are advertised gardens...whether they are currently attracting...can pose an issue.

I get that but.. currently my garden seems to be the ONLY Giant Panda garden with a plate of double bamboo.  If no one sets up a plate off mine then there will not be ANY double bamboo plates.. and unfortunately I can't get more from my own garden.

Many people don't advertise their garden, so all you can do is keep checking the recently missed part.
