We got to feed a sneppard

It was a pretty amazing life experience

She was very enthusiastic about food and then just super-chill

That's just the indoor/private area fwiw, nowhere near the actual size space they live in. The male chose not to come in for food and hung around the big outdoor enclosure to eat later instead. Apparently the female is a lot more sociable though. She hung around the indoor area for ages after food was clearly over, just chilling out and watching us and the keepers.
