Managing Donkeys in High Rainfall South West WA in the winter
Hi there, just wondering if anyone out there has experience with Donkeys. Just before summer last year we acquired two, a mother and a foal (they were feral, caught above Geraldton). No problem with grazing in the summer as it is all dry feed but now we have lush green pastures which I know are no good for donkeys. My original plan had been to run the donkeys with the sheep as guardians but given their dietary requirements I don’t think this is going to be possible. We have now corralled them into a small paddock with very little feed in it other than hay for day time and at night time they get access to a larger paddock with grass. Any thoughts on this – will it still be too rich for them even if sugars in the grass are lower at night?? Very happy to learn from other’s experience!
