We are looking to move in about a year. I have 2 mini donkeys that have "sensitive" tummies and moving them to a new place with a lush pasture is really scary. I am worried about colic and laminitis. One already had foundered before i got her and another jenny tried to colic on me about 4...

My Jenny is the same way...her foal jenny is a yearling. and they have never been seperated. They have gone through the fence to get back together. Butter (mom) has weaned her and will give her a low kick just as a reminder. Milk Dud still will go to her for reassurance and "nudge" her, but...

Does anyone have one donkey that thinks they need to protect their people? Snickers my 5 yr old Maiden Jenny, has taken to "protecting" me. We have deer, coyotes and foxes around and my other Jenny will move her yearling into the barn if something is around. Well...lately Snickers has taken...

I just wanted to let everyone know, Hope lost her battle yesterday . He little body couldn't balance out the antibiotics and then broke with diarrhea. I will sure miss her. thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Well just to help me i am posting this because she is on my mind. Wed evening my friends yearling got her head caught in the fence and did some nerve damage and fractured her jaw. She was rushed immediatly to the University, where she has underwent surgery to try and repair the damage. Right...

congrats. He is sooooooooo adorable.

I am so sorry for your loss, i couldn't imagine the hearbreak you are feeling. My prayers are with you.

so here is a silly question. My little girl is now almost 8 mo old (my how they grow). When can i expect her first heat cycle. just wondering Thanks

Well i am wanting to attend halter shows maybe this year with Hershey . He is about ready but don't know of any in the area. I haven't attened any and would like to watch and learn, any ideas?

I understand what you are talking about. I am in an area where there are "horse" people (no finger pointing or offense ment, sorry) but my donkeys are the brunt of jokes all the time. I do get offened because they are so much a part of my life. I have had a hard time finding a trainer that...

Awesome pictures. Merry Christmas to you and the girls from me and the candy crew.

No not expecting any this comming spring will see what next year brings. Hershey is in my Avatar, he is the most loving man.

Mini Donkeys are very addictive. I got my first one almost 2 years ago and since have added 2 with my first foal this past spring. I absolutlly love them so much. I really couldn't imagine living without them. Enjoy!

Well this should put a smile on everyones faces. The other day i was out feeding, brushing and spoiling a little bit when my little Hershey man went nuts. I was in the barn with the "girls" and he started sounding off, stomping and just being obnoxious. I looked outside and low and behold...

Thanks for the input, I think i will have a shock even tho I understand they are rough. It is funny you say they can breed through the fence - he has tried- but was quickly distracted when he touched his "manhood" to the hot wire. i really think he thought twice about that, at least for now...
