Ages 2 through 102. My wife, Jinny, always proclaimed donkeys were specially designed for grandparents and grandchildren.

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.

You are very welcome to visit our stud by prior appointment. If you contact the MMDA (see above) they may be able to give you the name of a breeder or owner near to you who might be happy to show you around their donkeys. You could also try attending a donkey show. The secretary is likely to be able to tell you if miniature donkeys are attending.

Miniature donkeys were used as beasts of burden in centuries past but are now raised as affectionate, easy to care for pets. Because of their dislike of coyote and other predators, miniature donkeys are often found to be effective predator control for livestock. Many of our donkeys keep company with our herd of boer goats, casting watchful eye and ear over them all. Hence, we find miniature donkeys to be "Shepherds of herd and heart."

Donkeys love the attention of all people, young and old, large and small. Because of this and their gentle nature, they tend to gather around anyone who comes to visit. At Prairie Brae we recommend that children not feed treats to the donkeys out of hand. A small dish will save the tiny fingers from being nibbled. we mentioned in the "About Us" area of the site, it was our first visit to a miniature donkey farm where the toddlers were wandering amongst the herd that most impressed us.

We accept boys and girls starting at the age of 2.8 years (in September) through age 5. There is no toilet training requirement.

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.

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.

China: Most come home around nine to eighteen months of age. The China Special Needs Program includes special medical needs boys and girls from ten months to five years, and, occasionally, healthy boys and girls six and older.

There are plenty of activities for children of all ages in The Outer Banks. From building sand castles to learning how to fly! Here are some of the wonderful things your kids can expect to to find in The Outer Banks:

The Pediatric Clinic accepts NEW patients from the age of birth to young adults who have not reached their 17th birthday.

We recommend this rule of thumb: if children are eight years or older, give them an adult dose. If younger than eight years of age, use half of an adult dose. Guarantees of product quality and potency start with the selection of a professional manufacturer. Great care must be taken to insure that the selected manufacturer follows recognized Good Manufacturing Procedures (GMPs).
