Miniature donkeys are very easy
to raise. They really are user friendly! Your first care question might be,"What
do they eat and how much do they eat?" Miniature Donkeys are grazers. So,they
will be eating your pasture grass. Coasal Bermuda seems to be the best ,
but there are many other
native
grasses to your area of the country that will be a good food supply. Get
in touch with your county extension agent about the native grass on your
land or in your area.
So---"How much hay do you feed?" This can vary, but if you are feeding small square bales a bale will normally be around 50 lbs. When you cut the string or wire the bale of hay will naturally fall into sections, which you will hear people refer to as a flake or a wedge. One wedge will be plenty of hay for one miniature donkey for a day.
Over feeding treats is where most people get their little donkeys too fat. Could you be a over treat feeder? Well look around you are all your pets over weight. Could your ranch be called Fat Dog Ranch. If you think you fall into tha catgory limit the amount of horse and mule feed you give as treat and be sure it is a lower protein mix---8 to 10 %.
Also always have a good mineral
block out for your little minis and a salt block too.
