OMG those are too cute! Yay Joshua :aktion033: ! I hope to (someday) have my jenny participate in a live nativity at our church. If she ever learns to behave that is!

She is only 5 months old, so I don't think it's heat related. But then again, I haven't researched the age at which that starts. She is aggressive toward the dogs, running them away from her. Most of the bad behavior occurs in her paddock area. I think she's protecting it. From everything...

I wanted to thank everyone for your suggestions. She got better, then...worse :no: . Now, she's standing up and coming at me on two legs. Sigh. She even did this to a couple of our guests this past weekend. Needless to say, they were not pleased. How do I deal with the whole "standing up"...

Hello everyone. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and are making good progress on your holiday preparations. My new Jenny and I have just passed our one month anniversary. She had calmed down quite a bit, but over the last couple of days she has gotten bad. When I come into her stall to...

I was wondering if there is such a thing as a mini horse/donkey hay rack. I thought if I used a hay rack it might cut down on the wasted hay. The breeder told me not to use a standard horse hay rack, as the bars are too far apart and the donkey could get her head stuck in there. So if anyone...

So sorry to hear of your loss, but glad you and your critters are ok. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I live in New England and we've had a lot of rain lately. I've seen first hand the devastation that water can do. I personally think it is the single most destructive force of nature...

Well, the mini donk has settled in nicely and has forgotten most of her bad habits. Now I have an issue with my TB mare. I knew there would be an attachment issue, but it's been ridiculous. Whenever I am with the donkey, my mare goes nuts, calling to her, nickering, pacing. I think she...

Hello everyone. My new mini donkey is settling in nicely :aktion033: , both to her surroundings and to her routine. I have been working on ground manners with her, leading her, backing her, and basically setting some limits to what is acceptable behavior. All in all, she is a joy to have...

Oh, he's ADORABLE. Lucky you! :aktion033:

She was living on the breeder's farm with her dam turned out with about 20 or so other donkeys and a few horses/foals. She never exhibited this behavior at any time I went to visit her, only since I've brought her home. Maybe that's what the breeder meant when she said, "She's driving her...

Thanks, everyone :aktion033: . I will definitely start working on the whole respect thing. As far as her age, she was foaled on July 16, 2006 and from everything I've read, was weaned a tad too early :no: . There is somewhat of a reason for this. Her dam cut her eyelid on something at the...

HI, everyone. I posted a few weeks ago that I was getting a little jennet. Well, we picked her up yesterday :aktion033: and everything seems to be going well. I do have a couple of concerns, however. She is nippy . She will push her head into you and then try to nip. Not sure how to...
