    Breeding mini donkeys

    One other thing I can add to the above info, is from my and a friend's experience, jennys seem to have a much longer gestation period. So plan your breedings accordingly. My jenny is now at nearly 12 months, and is barely bagging up yet. My friend's jennys always go about 13 months.

    The Baby is here!!!!

    That is the sweetest story I have ever heard! Your donkey obviously love you tons! And what a grand entrance for the baby. If he were mine, I would name him ' Ta Daa!'

    Bagging up

    Hello folks! Amelia is due in 4 days, and no sign of her bagging up yet. She is very pregnant! No chance of the date being off, because a jack jumped her fence and they had a one-nighter! (So her previous owner told me) I had a mare once (Quarter Horse) who had no bag whatsoever, but she...

    Looking to get a Mini Donkey soon

    Hi Lisa, I own two little jennies, and they are so dear. Just the kindest animals. You would never be able to tell when they are in heat, by their personalities. (Unlike some of my mares!) A friend of mine has both genders, and I like them all. One of her jacks got pretty over-protective...

    Time to vent......

    Oh, GOOD JOB, Corrine!! Proud of ya. And what a lucky little jenny. Once she gets to your house and has her feet attended to, she'll be dancing like Ginger Rogers! (Do I feel a name coming on?!) How far away are these animals from you?

    New Donkey Owner!

    Welcome, Driving4Fun! Boy, did you luck out! They just THREW IN a spotted jack?!?!? Wow. Lord only knows at this point what color your babies will be, but guaranteed cute! Plan to sleep in the barn at foaling time, unless you have a barn cam. You don't want to let your mares foal...

    New kid on the block

    Thank you for the welcome, Jill! My daughter also goes to UWSP. The reason I know Heartland Stable so well is that Kate boards two horses there and works off the board mucking stalls! The owners are the nicest people I've ever met. They treat her just like a daughter, which of course...

    Clipping?

    Thanks, everybody, for your guidance. I didn't know what was 'proper'! When I had my vet out a couple weeks ago for Coggins, I got the clippers out to carve him an area in the neck so he could find a vein through all that winter hair. (Not so much the donkeys, but the horses - oh, my gosh!)...

    Clipping?

    Do any of you clip your donkeys? And if so, what do you do with their 'manes'? Roach them or leave them. And do you do a bridal path if you leave them?

    New kid on the block

    Thank you for the welcome, Sandy! It was nice to hear from you. And I was glad to see that I am not so unusual as I thought, with my growing collection of equines! Aren't they just the BEST?! I also have a dog and three cats. Several aquariums. Some bunnies. Corrine, thank you for the...

    New kid on the block

    Hello, all. Ok, I didn't mention my FOUR stallions! Geesh, Corrine, you want everybody to know I'm nuts?! First there is Boss. He is a 3 year old red dun from LTD. Small and perfect! Second is Bonanza. Another boy from LTD. He is 2, and a buckskin frame overo. Blue eyes, and maybe...

    New kid on the block

    Hello Everyone!   I had the pleasure of meeting Corrine last week, and was talked into trying out this forum. My name is Terri, and I live in Northern Wisconsin. Mere inches from the Michigan border. I am the proud mother of two little jennys. Amelia is a black, and very pregnant...
