Raising a donkey is a lot like raising a horse, but donkey's are much more stubborn that horses. Make sure you have a property that is suitable for a donkey. This means you need to have a pasture where it can graze. Having a donkey costs a fair amount of money as well because of how much they eat.

do not treat a donkey as a horse !! they are totally different. they must have plenty of fibre in thier diet. donks are not stubborn, they use thier brain and work things out. do not have one on its own always have two they need company.  add a comment

rough grazing is better than a pasture for donkeys. they need variety in thier diet similar to goats. feed them plenty of barley straw not hay. worm them and have hooves trimmed regularily. do not let them have wet ground thier hooves are porous.  add a comment

Female donkeys (Jenny) are more even tempered than males (jack). Always treat your pet donkey with kindness and patience as it may take some time to build trust and bond.
