Miniature Donkey Facts
Imagine the perfect pet . . . imagine the Miniature Donkey. From the moment this appealing, long-eared foal is born, it’s mission is to give love and thrive on attention. They are, without a doubt, the most adorable, affectionate, soft and cuddly creatures in the animal kingdom. Completely trustworthy around children, the elderly, and the handicapped. When mature they are easily trained to pull carts and can be ridden by small children. They are companionable with a variety of other livestock and become quite attached to their herdmates, as well as their owners. Jennets (female donkeys) are extremely devoted mothers, and are also protective and tolerant of other foals in the herd. They are very popular because so many people realize and value their unique qualities, they are also a good financial investment . . . an investment that you can love!
HISTORY
Miniature Donkeys are members of the equine family. They are native to the Mediterranean Islands of Sicily and Sardinia, but have been in this country approximately fifty years. Today there are only an estimated 15,000 of these unique, diminutive donkeys in North America. Importation of Miniature Donkeys into the United States is no longer allowed.
Mr. Robert Green, who imported the first Miniature Donkeys to the United States in 1929, is quoted as saying,
"Miniature Donkeys possess the affectionate nature of a Newfoundland,
the resignation of a cow, the durability of a mule, the courage of a tiger,
and the intellectual capability only slightly inferior to man's."
DESCRIPTION
Life Span: average 25-35+ years
Weight: 200 - 350 pounds
Height: average 32"-34" at the withers, maximum 36"
Gestation: 11½-13 months
COLOR
Most mini donkeys are grey-dun with the characteristic "cross". They also come in darker shades of grey, brown, black, sorrel, and spotted. Usually they have light tan markings around their muzzle and eyes, known as "points", however, some have dark points.
HEALTH
These little guys are remarkably hardy and healthy. They do require preventative vaccinations, regular worming, and hoof trimming every 2-3 months.
CARE AND MANAGEMENT
Feeding:
Donkeys require good quality hay, a mineral salt block, and fresh, clean water. Access to pasture for grazing and exercise is preferable and should be a consideration.
Housing:
They should always have shelter from rain, snow, wind, hot sun, and flies! It should be dry and draft-free. Fencing need only be four feet high, woven wire is considered a safe and a popular choice. Donkeys can withstand cold temperatures as long as they have shelter and are fed properly.
