What kind of health care do Miniature Donkeys require?

Cooke Livestock Miniature Donkeys
Donkeys can be groomed like their equine counterparts. Brush them with a stiff brush, going with the direction that the hair grows. Be gentle around their face and ears. To get rid of the shaggy winter coats, you can purchase a shedding blade, or a kitchen block, much like pumice, that is used to clean out wooden stoves. By rubbing it gently on your donkey, it sheds out the old, shaggy hair, leaving a shiny coat in its place. You can buy these stones at any store specializing in wooden stoves.

What other animals do Miniature Donkeys get along with?

Cooke Livestock Miniature Donkeys
Miniature donkeys get along with goats, sheep, horses, cats, dogs, llamas...all it takes is common sense. For example the miniature donkey makes a superior guard animal for sheep goats, and llamas, herding them and protecting them from predators. While they can go in the same pasture or pen with those animals, it is not wise to put them in with larger animals such as horses and cattle, as they may injure your donkey. It is best to let them be in adjacent pastures.

Can Miniature Donkeys be house pets?

Cooke Livestock Miniature Donkeys
No, miniature donkeys cannot be house pets. They are livestock and as such require a barn or three sided shelter to give them protection from the elements. While they might like to come and visit you on your front steps, they cannot (to our knowledge) be housetrained so you would set yourself up for some very large messes!

What do miniature donkeys eat?

About Miniature Donkeys
The most important thing is not to overfeed miniatures. You should be able to feel but not see the donkeys ribs. In the summer months access to grass will probably need to be restricted. In the winter months a diet of barley straw and some meadow hay is likely to be sufficient. Access to a mineral lick, or feeding a good-quality general purpose supplement is advisable. Carrots and apples may be fed as treats. Chop into slices that could not choke the donkey.

What kind of daily care does a Twistarp require?

FAQ about Twistarp from Wisman Enterprises
Virtually none. Twistarps should be stored where other objects are not piled on top of them. We recommend a tarp-bar in the cargo area of the truck in a location easy to access. Because they are stored outside, the weather keeps a tarp clean. Mud and soil dry and fall off, and the wind, the sun, and rain become cleansing agents. A pressure washer may be used as can soap and water. Tarps are constructed of UV resistant materials.

Are your Mediterranean Miniature Donkeys stubborn? Are they fractious?

Barnhart Miniature Donkey Ranch & Nature Tours - Berclair, T...
No. Those negative traits in the donkeys you may have known are a result of feral breeding. In contrast, the Mediterranean Miniature has been treasured and selectively bred for centuries. They are naturally affectionate and will return the love extended to them manyfold. They will not "break" as with a horse and choose to follow you as "Alpha Leader" in a trust relationship. Trust is the key to their training.

What happens if I obtain a miniature donkey and decide that keeping donkeys is not for me?

About Miniature Donkeys
It is imperative that you are sure you can, and want to, take on the responsibility of owning donkeys before you take the plunge into ownership. Donkeys can live for 50 years and require daily care. The routine care of a donkey may cost around £50 a month and take at least an hour a day, but even a simple veterinary call out is likely to cost in excess of £100, so it is essential that you can meet these demands.
