So that’s a total of 6 very loveable donkeys! And very recently, we welcomed Fergus and Fiona. Then, in February of 2018, we added Chilli, and later on, Blossom and Honey joined the crew in the summer of 2020. We got Buddy back in December of 2017 when he was about 6 months old. At first, we looked for a regular-sized donkey, but I was hooked when I saw a miniature baby. Well, the honest first answer is because they are so cute! We had heard they would possibly help protect the flock, so we figured it would be fun to get one. These are all my thoughts based on the experience and knowledge we have gained over the last few years. Always speak with a trusted vet when possible. Research diligently before making decisions for your donkeys.
