In zoos, many herbivores get to enjoy "seasonal vegetables". Giant tortoises like the spooky season in particular. (lemmy.world)

As an ex-zookeeper, Yes, because of multiple reasons.

A) Seasonal vegetables are cheap and often donated B) Seasonal items increase social media activity. C) Seasonal items are typically in-line with natural cycles that align with wild animals.

There's literally no downside. Financial benefit, social benefit, and benefits to the well-being for the animal.
