Your suggestions!
Hey donkey folks! We are excited to be bringing home these new friends late this week. They have been living with goats and potbelly pigs and are very overweight. Best estimates put them at about 15 years old. Our hope is to slowly work them into better shape in the years ahead. I have done a lot of online research, but I’m hoping to collect any additional advice you might have.Teff Hay and Barley straw are not available as far as I can tell in Maine. I did find teff hay pellet and first cut hay. We have a great vet and will work with her as well, but hopeful to get a little donkey owner advice here! Thanks for any feeding tips you might have. I also ordered a sample of California trace mineral pellets for them to try.

They are super cute! I’m in FL and cannot find straw either (or not good quality or reliably). I feed a coastal Bermuda and get it tested to double check the NSC is below 10% and also feed it in hay nets to slow them down. I’m currently working on a makeshift track system to encourage more movement through the day. I had a similar idea in SC before I moved and their feet looked great! I then feed a couple handfuls of soaked Teff hay pellets with Vermont blend, a little extra salt and a gut supplement.

Vinny is my standard (brown) donkey and little Ricky is my mini. Then I am currently working with the neighbors donkeys Rocket (white) and Eeyore. They are all super sweet and love to be typical boys haha.
