About Our lovely donkeys.
Personality
Mini-Donkeys love you the minute
you touch them, after they are
born. Once you have made that
contact, they are instantly bonded,
always eager to please and always
happy to see you. They crave
human attention, and are friendly
to all who come in contact with
them. They have the best
personality of any animal we have
ever come to meet. They are
Loyal, Protective and Territorial,
much like a dog is.
They are also a herd animal and
do not do well alone, they need
another donkey friend.They do
not make good companions to
smaller animals, due to the fact
that they play differently. Because
of this the smaller animal end up
getting hurt.
Housing
Some people will tell you that
equines do not need shelter, but
would you like to stand out in the
rain and snow with a wet coat? We
believe that all animals should
have a house, and our donkeys
love to spend time in theirs.
Feed
We feed our donkeys a good
quality grass hay twice a day,
lactating moms and foals get an
equine grain mixture every day.
We also give them carrots, apples
etc. Just be careful not to over
feed them, because they may get
overweight. Fat is stored in the
neck and rump.
