I mentioned in an earlier post that I got two 4 month old mini donks a couple weeks ago. I was told they were 4 months old. The one is much bigger than other, and is filled out nicely. The li'l guy, however, seems thin to me. I can feel his ribs and he's just not filled out like his buddy. I'm al little concerned that he may be younger than I was told and that he may have been weaned a little early. I have him one Omolene 100 sweetfeed and hay. I'm giving him about 3/4 cup grain twice a day and free choice of hay, plus pasture. (and lately, he gets a couple apples throughout the day...our trees overfloweth!) Tonight I slipped him about 1/4 cup beet pulp. The other donkey is doing great. Any ideas on how to get this lil guy to thrive? I just wormed both of them this week with Ivermectin too. Also, why I'm asking... is it okay to give mini donkey's Strongid Daily wormer pellets? I daily worm all my mini horses.
Any nutrition help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks again!!!
