About Donkeys
When we tell someone we raise miniature donkeys, the most frequently asked question we get is… What do you do with them? Simple answer – you enjoy them, love them, and have fun with them!!!
Donkeys actually have MANY uses… They are perhaps best known for their ability to make WONDERFUL PETS. Because of their small size and gentle disposition, most are safe around children, the elderly, and handicapped people. If you’re searching for Miniature Donkeys for sale, these affectionate animals make excellent companions.
Miniature donkeys are the perfect solution for anyone who loves equines but is intimidated by larger-sized animals… or for those who might not have the space, health, or means to care for a larger animal. They are very economical and easy to take care of. Their soft fuzzy noses, long ears, and loveable personalities, along with being entertaining little characters, make them great pets for people of all ages. If you’re looking for the best donkey breeders in USA, selecting one that prioritizes the health and happiness of their donkeys ensures a lifelong bond with a wonderful pet.
As pets, they should always be either jennies or gelded jacks, not intact males.
Donkey, (Equus asinus), domestic ass belonging to the horse family, Equidae, and descended from the African wild ass (Equus africanus). It is known to have been used as a beast of burden since 4000 BCE.
The average donkey stands 101.6 cm (40 inches) at the shoulder and weighs about 250 kg (551 pounds), but different breeds vary greatly. For example, the Sicilian donkey reaches only about 61 cm (24 inches) and weighs between 113 and 181 kg (250 and 400 pounds), while the average-sized American Mammoth Jackstock donkey is much larger, measuring about 142 cm (56 inches) and weighing 544 kg (1,200 pounds). In colour the donkey ranges from white to gray or black and usually has a dark stripe from mane to tail and a crosswise stripe on the shoulders. The mane is short and upright and the tail, with long hairs only at the end, is more cowlike than horselike. The very long ears are dark at the base and tip. Although slower than horses, donkeys are sure-footed and can carry heavy loads over rough terrain. The mule is a hybrid, the offspring of the mating of a male (jackass, or jack) donkey and a female horse. In some parts of the world where horses cannot easily survive or where extreme poverty prevents locals from owning horses, donkeys are the main beasts of burden and source of transportation.
Donkeys are members of the equine family… their Latin name is equus asinus. They are native to the Mediterranean Islands of Sicily and Sardinia.
Donkeys are about as close to the perfect pet as you can get. They are adorable from the moment they are born… and are without a doubt one of the most loveable and affectionate critters in the animal kingdom. They thrive on attention and have an amazing amount of love to give in return.
The old wives tale of donkeys being stubborn, is actually a sign of their intelligence. They are very cautious animals and will not proceed if they are unsure of a situation.
If you are considering buying a donkey for the first time…. Your decision to own donkeys may be the most enjoyable, entertaining, and rewarding choice you’ve ever made…. Not to mention the donkey’s therapeutic value for everyone of all ages.
