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!
Just curious, do you have Lucerne? As, lucerne and alfalfa are the same.we dont have alfalfa here,
ALways make sure you use CLEAN HAY, never use any moldy type of hay.We grow our own, usually about 150 acres of hay. It is a mix of alfalfa and timothy. When we plant any fields my hubby usually puts in a extra bag of alfalfa seed to so many lbs of Kentucky Blend which is mostly timothy. our hay dont have alot of alfalfa in it, but more then the avg. bale would have if you bought a blend like this. I have been feeding this to our horses for the past 40 years, and to our minis, and donks for the past 13. Never had even the slightest problem with feeding alfalfa, but I do know they say not to feed a high protein or a lush pasture to any donkeys. You do have to watch for fat rolls (crests) developing on donkeys. We also have a field of orchard grass..which is always kept aside for my minis and donkeys. Its super soft and the horses and donkeys love it, this is usually mixed in with the timothy /alfalfa hay, when I feed them. They all have access to hay all the time.
Krissy, I drink alot of teas, and have made some of my own.. I definitely can see making a peppermint tea, or tea with wildflowers/herbs...but HAY SOUP???????????Tell me more...
