online server not spawning animals

I recently got an online server and loaded spigot 1.11. When I play, monsters spawn but no animals are spawning. And, my hunger does not seem to change over time. What can I do to change this? This is what I see on the server config- says spawn animals- enabled.

 

The hunger is actually working now. But I still haven't seen any animals.

 

Yes. server.properties is where the image came from. It says Spawn animals: enabled.

I also have spigot.yml that says:
