Title: Donkey info
Post by: mwncigirl on November 15, 2016, 09:31:25 am

hi everyone, I've always wanted to keep donkeys and now we're living in the south of France I feel I'm getting closer to getting some. Thing is, I've no experience of keeping them and would be grateful if anyone could recommend a donkey bible to get me started.


Any tips too would be gratefully received! 
Thanks.

Try and get a copy of the Professional Handbook of the Donkey, produced by the Donkey Sanctuary.  The latest print of it is only given to vets (mine ordered it for me) but the first 3 or 4 editions should be available on ebay or amazon.

So this post overlaps my last thread, but I am getting a donkey in a week or two so excited and  I am trying to gather up everything that I need to have on hand to be prepared. I like to be prepared when it comes to my animals. Any advice would be great, thanks
