Tony
This rejected abused mini was give to me because he terrorized the family. He was separated from his mom at two months, used in a petting zoo and bottle fed. He never learned how to be a donkey. He charged people because of food. That escalated to biting rearing and kicking during tantrums. He was left tied by the neck to a barbed wire fence at six months old because in his short life, people had turned against him. He took a long time to retrain. Those early habits run deep. He’s six years old now, still mouthy sometimes, but he has manners and best friend in a seven year old standard jenny. Let baby donkeys stay with their moms until at least six months. There lessons to teach. Geld young jacks. Teach basic manners. Tony should never have been given up on and given away. Too many donkeys like him end up neglected, abused, or bound for slaughter.
