This post is for anyone who wants to participate!

- size of your donkeys
- what your feed routine is daily
- what do feed them?
Example: Type of hay, minerals, balancers and how much! Do they have free access? Do you weigh it out? Use slow hay feeder bags?

It’s great to share what works for your donkeys so owners can get ideas from others!

If I have a standard jenny 3 years old and a baby 11 month old; mom needs to loose weight, but baby needs more nutrition. How do I feed them so she looses weight without compromising weaned baby. I can’t really separate because they’re bonded and go stir crazy without each other.

Bought some slow feeder bags that are coming into the mail today. One for the whole bale of straw and two hanger for the hay. Also bought a fish scale to start weighing the amount I feed them. However, the issue I’m running into is how do I even make sure they stay at the right hay bag haha.

What we have is wheat straw, Teff and orchard. They usually share half a flake of teff in the morning with a sprinkle of orchard and have free access to wheat straw.

They haven’t been released to my back dry pasture because I’m still earning their trust getting them to leave the paddock area is still scary to them. Can’t wait for the day I can release them to the back acre!!

Can you tell me what you’re feeding and how much to your donkeys? I need recs.

Just bought a Toyota Tunda 2017. Needs some upgrading to do inside.

Post pics and names of the infotainment systems you’ve upgraded your tundras with!

Any regrets or gripes on the brand you chose? Like lags or delays or spotty?

I upgraded my 4Runner infotainment system with a Toyo but it lags. Great graphics though, won’t be using this brand again.

We adopted two donkeys. One of them is so timid. I’m not sure what her past life looked like but currently she’s in a good home with us. About 5 days ago we got them. She’s getting eaten up by flies. Won’t let me help her. I even tried putting the spray on the towel to just dab around her face. She won’t even approach. I fear conjunctivitis is slowly starting. I’m not
Sure what to do. The flies are like. 4-5. Not really much but driving her nuts. Eyes are watery. And I see redness in the inner corner.
I have spray. Traps. And even a fly mask. She just won’t let me get anywhere near her.

Hi, this is a last minute post. Tomorrow we’re off to go look at a pair of donkeys a person is rehoming. 2 jennies. A mom (estimated 5-6 yo) and her daughter who’s 10 months old. The owner has had them
Vet checked, Hoof care done every 6 weeks, vaccinated, teeth checked, and dewormed in the last 2-3 months.

We’re new to donkeys.
What are some things we should look out for to get an idea that we’re getting a donkey in good health or a donkey that’s not in good shape.

Example is I read that you should check there neck crest - if it’s fallen over their over weight.

Any recommendations to ensure donkey gets there minerals they need daily?

13m old. Ferrtin 3, started on 15mg iron everyday for 2 weeks so far.

Ever since a couple days after starting iron toddler has been SUPER CHARGED with energy hahaha. Hair is finally growing in and not so pasty white!

However downfalls are she’s so supercharged she’s like wired & can’t turn her energy, jitters or mind off. The last 1.5 weeks it’s been a FIGHT to get her down for naps and bed time and now she’s waking up throughout the night, she falls back asleep but then wakes up frequently.

I’ve tried shortening her wake windows, extending her wake windows, doing her normal 2 naps and even trialed her 1 nap. I don’t cap her naps, I just let her wake up naturally because that’s what we’ve always done. She’s never gone over 2 hours in naps whether it be 1 or 3 naps. Soonest wake up is 45 mins.

Anyone else have this same struggle since starting iron? When should she like level out ?

Can’t find any reviews on this mattress - anyone have input on this? How’s it holding up.

We loved the feel of it and are thinking of buying it.

Located in Cali.
What mineral brand do you use for your donkeys?
Loose vs block ?

Red vs Himalayan vs white salt?

From what I read i offer salt and minerals separately.

Any recommendations for items at TSC?
Looking for the brands you use that’s accessible

Saw one person recommend California trace. Any reviews on that.? Pellet, powder? Which one?

Currently we’ve tried the mamazing ultra air ($180) and the Mompush lithe v2 and Mompush nova.
Currently at this time we returned the nova (seat was just too reclined for our fomo toddler and she was holding herself up. The lithe v2 we loved because of the snack and drink option and the canopy shade cover was big, however downfall the storage capacity was limited (max4lbs) however we’d pack it as tight as possible and the wheels were just too thin and not sturdy. We’re onto our mamazing ultra air. The fabric is really soft and we upgraded the seat to add the extra cushion however we don’t think we’ll need it it’s pretty cushiony on its own, not a total 90 degree angle but good enough for a FOMO kid who loves to sit up and see the world, canopy shade is decent but the mesh on the top is great but not because it lets sun thru when it’s really sunny but it does keep it airy, feels very light but almost cheap light, storage on the bottom is “fair” for a travel stroller. Wheels are just ok but we’re still trialing it, not terrible but not spectacular

Anyone else have recommendations for “BUDGET FRIENDLY” Travel strollers. We like to keep it under 300 because we don’t want to baby it like our uppababy v3 lol. It’s meant to be “beat up” for the on the go life

Post pics & names of your cuties!

How long did it take for them to adjust and become apart of the family!

Anything you would want to share that you learned along the way!

Ugh… crashing out.
Anyone else have a toddler with really low ferritin? Waiting for the dr to call us to see what the next plan of action is.

Recommendations of: iron and vit c rich foods or meals your LO loves.

Also, my kid eats scrambled eggs, beef and tons of broccoli everyday! - hates strawberries and citrus!

Looking for inspiration of different types of fencing that people use for their donkeys. Post pics! Thank you!

*currently we’re looking at cattle pannels, 4x4 6gauge panels, or livestock panels*

Hot wire vs no hot wire?
