I plan on keeping our donkey baby, and mom and baby will be together. For those of you in my situation, how long do you keep them separated at weaning time before putting them back together? It has only been two weeks now....
Mom has not been getting any grain/grass, only hay to help her dry up, however the baby was not really nursing anymore anyway, so not sure she had anything in there to begin with. She would stick her nose down there and give her a little head butt, then walk away.
They have been separated from sight, but not sound, but they are not calling out to each other anymore. Only time they bray is at feeding time! Typical donkeys!
Thanks
