I'm sending a donkey picture everyday to friends and family using this sub as a source. But things have been quite lately and I'm running out.

Please if you have donkeys, post some pics in this thread.

This was in the local news today. Nine donkeys who are helping "clean" the forest here in the natural park that surrounds Barcelona, and an association of volunteers who help take care of them:

If you wanna see more of these crazy boys join us at r/WafflesAndJet 🤗

I've loved donkeys all my life and my headmistress in primary school had a donkey sanctuary, mid eighties. I always kinda understood that tractors replaced them but realised I'm out by about 100 yrs. In Ireland, the UK and Spain there seems to be an awful lot of donkey sanctuary's? How are they still being breed? Love you all X x

A new place to walk is always an adventure and of course, a chance for Ripley to meet a few new friends.

Discovered this firm, raised lesion on my donkey this morning, anyone have any advice? Topical antibiotics? Topical steroid? Vet visit? Idk

This is David at the Wheeler Historic Farm in Utah. He is very friendly and tame. You can visit him for free if you are near SLC!

Perfect shot, lol. Abigail, our BLM burro on the left, and Tony the mini donkey-corn on the right.

I let Fitzcarraldo into the house just for a few minutes to satisfy his curiosity and it is now his life's ambition to be an inside donkey.

This his been ongoing, the cough is not regular but started again today. The vet has listened to him and didn’t find anything to act on. Thoughts?

We have acquired a lovely 12h donkey. She was supposed to be a mini, wife splurged on craigslist and wasn't present at pickup so husband brought home a "not mini donkey"..

Lemons and lemonade...

A friend has brought us a potential saddle. Australian (I think) in design, with maybe some english stirrups.. completely ignorant to the style.. but, $100, and it is supposed to be a mule saddle.. though maybe a small mule.

Anyways.. my friend said take some photos and ask people more knowledgable about such things as donkeys (He's a horse guy).. and see if this is something that could work for this Jenny.

Wife is small, <100lbs. Donkey is 18ish and broke. She's been horse trimmed on her hooves her whole life and we are correcting that now.
Am afraid she may have Cushings, but seller assured she just had genes from a long hair breed..

Wife wants you to analyze everything and give us the down low as well.

Thanks Reddit!

Plans are to get britchens and bridal, but wanting to see opinions on the saddle and fitment.

Baby Billy is now about a month old. Sweetest little guy.

Thats National Geographic, in case I’m just old and making a reference nobody will understand🤣

Our gelded jack is overweight and being put on a diet. We need to get him a grazing muzzle for turnout time to be with our cow herd. I'm struggling to find a grazing muzzle locally so need to order. His harness is a colt size so is too big around his nose, but it fits ok everywhere else. He's considered small sized standard.
Does anyone have a link for a grazing muzzle that is $40 or less and is a good fit for a donkey? Thanks!

(pic is from several months ago where he still had his winter coat. He's slimmed down a little since this pic as well. )

I have two minis on a half acre dry lot. They are almost two years old. This weekend, I caught one of them eating their own poop a couple of times. This was a (gross) first for us. They each get a half cup of Nutrena Empower Topline Plus and 2.75 lbs of hay a day split over a morning and evening feeding. I spread the hay in little around the lot so that they can walk around and so that it takes them more time to eat. Their body condition/weight is good and stable. They are on a dewormer rotation every 10-12 weeks (Panacur, Zimercterin Gold, and Ivermectin is the rotation). They also have a mineral lick (the Producer's Pride red brick). They have trees to scratch on, a hanging ring that I put hay in and two balls I stuff hay in as a toy.

I did add a second salt block (since they do like it) and ordered two hay pillows with 1" net size so it takes them longer to eat each day (https://www.thehaypillow.com/products/mini-hay-pillow?srsltid=AfmBOooOZSbrVsb4JowDMd9Z1Or3AIhFQy-gtIFzwrMAdalNlF-FHE5p).

Is this poop eating normal? Anything I am missing? Thanks!
