Hi I have a mini donkey. His name is DonQ, and he is the sweetest thing. Here are some pictures. I have an important question regarding him which I am wondering if this is the right place for the question. I will ask anyway and just let me if it’s ok.
Along with DonQ I also have Nigerian dwarf goats. Four, They all get along well but when it’s time to eat I am having problems. Because DonQ wants to eat the goats feed and the goats prefer to eat DonQ’s food.
My concern is that the goats food is not only medicated but also has copper. As I understand copper is not good for donkeys!
I know I could try to feed them separate, but the barn is not finished and I don’t have the different stables for them to eat at. That’s in the future.
If it’s true that the goats feed is not good for DonQ, because of the copper, is there an universal feed that I can buy or mix that will work for all farm animals housed in the same area?
I am already trying very hard to stop them from eating each other’s food, but they are giving me the “evil eye”, (they get annoyed with me,) every time I do that.
Do anyone has a recipe to mix or a feed brand to buy that I can give to both of them, goats and DonQ, that with be complementing their grass and and hay eating? They already have an universal block of minerals.
Thank you for your help!
