Welcome again! I would choose something a bit lighter. Like minimule said, donkeys gain weight too easily! Mine gets coastal all year round, but this winter was harsher than usual, and we supplemented with sudan; he loved it! Right now Owen just gets a small amount of all-stock grain. He's not...

I love Hidalgo! It's fun seeing what other people think; nice topic! I'm getting some good movie suggestions. But yes, Hidalgo is one of my very favorite movies.

Thanks Ruffian! A sarvis curry is just the plastic ones you see in feed stores like the one on the link below. I only use these because I have a mini donkey, and his hair is really thick! Thanks again, your post did help! http://www.derbyhouse.co.uk/user_resources...P4250048-01.jpg

Hi! How often do you groom/bathe? And what are your routines? Thanks in advance! Grooming- -Halter and tie -Pick out hooves -Use the Sarvis Curry -Use the metal curry (only if he's muddy) -Use the dandy brush -Apply sunscreen/nonfade spray -Brush mane and tail -Brush face -Braid tail...

Hi! If this should be moved to the donkey forum, then I don't mind if it needs to! OK, anyway: does anyone know of a place (even online) I can buy a headstall for my mini donkey? I've seen several synthetic ones, but I think he's done growing, so I'd like to get a leather one to last a while. I...

I think they should just be pets, like everyone else said. Mine is a pastue puff! I'll take him out of the fence to dink around with him, but we don't do much work; sometimes we do running in the pasture, but I don't really consider it training: I use it for submission. As long as they can...

Thanks so much everyone for the helpful replies! Minimor- do you have to be qualified to be able to give your own shots? (sorry for being so igorant!) I've always wanted to so I could cut down on costs, but I just am not quite sure I could do it properly! Again, thank you everyone. I am going...

What is the average price to have a vet come to you and administer a West Nile shot? My mini is in need of one, and I'd like to know if the fee is reasonable as soon as I find one. And, how often do you get this and tetnaus done? He had the tetnaus in 08. Thanks!

I get that question all the time too about my mini donkey! I feel like shouting at them sometimes !

I love to read too! One of my favorites is: Hattie Big Sky But, oh! there are so many! I like James Herriot also, and I ADORE Magurite Henry's books. Interesting topis.

Thanks everyone for replying! I enjoyed seeing the results, and I hope more post. I realize I didn't offer every single type, as I am not the expert in that field krissy3- I've never heard of feeding them trees, but it sounds like a good idea. Does it save you much money? MeadowRidgeFarm-...

Hi! I was just wondering what type of hay you feed your donkey/s. We feed a mix of coastal and sudan. I read you are not suppossed to feed alfalfa, becuase of it's high cause of colic; it's still an option anyway. Thanks!

Owen (my mini donkey) will bray if I'm late to feed, or if his friend next door, who is also a donkey, does. We live out in a tiny town in Texas, but our street is pretty residential. Every house has an acre average. No one here seems to mind it, actually they all seem to like him! And, his...
