Donkeys

I'm considering fostering a pair of donkeys from the donkey sanctuary. Has anyone had experience of this? I will have a spare acre or so which I could fence appropriately and could provide a shelter.

Re: Donkeys

We adopt Donkeys, we have three at the moment, I just wish we had a field to keep them so that we dont have to travel far to look at them.

Go to any Donkey sanctuary and they will be only to willing to help you to learn to look after them or you could try here for some advice

Re: Donkeys

I love donkeys too, I'm still following the progress of the lovely donkey, Bella, born to Sylvanna ...... Cassie kindly posted the link to the imminent birth a few weeks ago.

The cam is still on if anyone is interested.....

Re: Donkeys

Thanks for that link Mags, I didn't realise they were still showing it. I too love donkeys, so clever and top escape artists so any fences must be strong!
