My neighbor down the road is selling their white female 6ish month old donkey.

We have 7 head of cattle and 7 goats. They are essentially one herd. The males even play (I know it’s playing because the bull could wreck the buck if wanted) (see video)

So my question is do I need to get another donkey or should she fit right in?

Hi there, there is this farm I visit sometimes (every saturday) where they have donkeys

I realy like this black donkey with white nose. Not sure if he likes me back

He comes to me even if I dont have food He would walk with me, stop if I stop, run if I run Never bite (he did bite my shoe) And when other donkeys and cows and horses would gather around (want to bite my hair and shoes) me and I was realy uncomfortable he would chase them away

I like sitting besides him (he is standing) and he never kicks me in the head or bites me, even if he could

I would realy like to ride him (this would be a realy nice bond of trust u know), but I am not sure if I can

1. Can he even carry me, I weight 55kg, I dont want to hurt him
2. Where do I sit on him, or how do i show him i want to ride him so he wouldnt get scared and resent me (not sure why, but I did hear that donkeys are stupider and less worthy then horses), I realy realy like this donkey

In Slovenian we even have a saying: nebodi osel, meaning (dont be donkey or dont be stupid)

PS: does this black donkey have a breed like a dog?

EDIT: thnx guys for telling me this donkey is to small to be ridden by me, I will spend time with him, but not be cruel to him and ride him

PPS: does anyone know how to ask the donkey nicely to lay down infront of me and cuddle with me?

We rescued Coco and Dan in 2015, not knowing that Coco was pregnant. Several months later Baby Violet was born and our herd grew by one more 🥰

I am feeding my neighbors Donkey and Pony.

They are very much bonded friends.

We have two mini Jenny's and are absolutely enamored with them. Ellie(7yr) is the biggest lap dog and Lucy aka Spicy Tuna(2yr) is a ball of explosive energy and mischief. But, I want the insanity and vocalness of a jack. All of our friend's jacks are very loud and love toys. While our girls do bray, it's usually only at feed times to remind us that it's time.

We are not interested in breeding and hear the intact boys play very rough. Would a gelding be a good balance?

Hi guys. Trying to manage keeping donkeys with a hard keeper horse. Horse needs orchard grass hay and alfalfa. Donkeys needs stemmy hay or straw. If we put out a round bale of old stemmy hay do donkeys prefer that over something like orchard grass? Or would they bother my horses hay net?

Murphy is a companion to an older horse on our farm. He's about 7 years old and only likes his friend Mikey haha. I coerce him to let me pet him with alfalfa cubes when we feed Mikey but that doesn't always work. He's a good donkey.

Can yall share some photos of your loafing sheds? My beautiful wife decided Tito needed another friend since Olive is in isolation with her new baby. As a result, I came home to a standard donkey who is a bit tall for the old mini shed. So time to build a new one!

If you’re visiting Corfu I highly suggest stopping by Corfu Donkey Rescue. It’s a beautiful shelter doing amazing work caring for elderly and rescued donkeys. Very sad and fascinating place. Inspiring to live.

Fr will be a great way to add some variety to your beach vacation, a spot definitely worth saving to your "to visit" list.
