It is Good idea, But there are many problems, such as Parking, feeding and collecting your Donkey wastes which need pampers To avoid Contamination.

Give me a pair of those pampers!
I think they mean parking by keeping or holding the donkey, and housing. Also, by getting the donkey from point a to point b when you get one (such as a horse trailor), and also how you will care for it without contaminating say other animals.

This sounds like excellent idea, innocents_lost. Why do you want donkey? Is it as beast of burden, such as to take the laundry to the river? Donkey is good for this. Or is it to protect property? Snakes? Why do you want donkey?
I have wanted donkey, too. I will be watching this Discussion to see what great suggestions are made for donkey. I am jealous but happy for you.

I used to have quite a few goats. I had a Great Pyranese to guard them, but I wanted a donkey. My father had a donkey and he always told me how valuable they were in livestock protection. Dad also said they were great at killing snakes. Plus, I just have always liked donkeys, so I meant to get one. But I never did.

I know a few of our customers who have donkeys and lamas as well. I personally ahvent had one nor have I have the land. I think my Dad would kill me as hes still taking a fit about the rabbit. I heard donkeys are very similar to a horse. I know our customers have both, and they are in the same field, and basically play with the hoses as well. But yes, doing the research before is really a must.

My uncle used to breed donkeys so I know a few things about them. They really like bark so make sure you put them in a pasture with a few trees. They're primarily active in cooler hours, mostly late afternoon and early morning. It's always best to have more than one donkey. Dogs are scared of donkeys so if you want to keep dogs away from a herd of cattle then donkeys are good way to do it.
