    Hi, we are kidding right now and have three babies (2 mamas) and this is our first time doing this. We also have a donkey named JJ. The first mama has been doing great with her kids, feeding, licking, etc. It also helps that she was a bottle baby so she is used to attention and humans...

    Pregnant Donkey Bleeding

    Hi, So I have a miniature donkey that is supposed to foal sometime this week. I went to check up on her and there is a little bit of blood dribbling out. I don't know if this is normal because I missed the birth of my other mini. Is she and the foal okay? Or Is it just because she's going to...
