New baby and new donkey - ummmm....don't think my granddaughter likes her new pet.

Can I play too?

My crazy critters on the steps...Henry looking out going, Hey, what's going on out there"?

:weee :celebrate He can finally stand on his own!!! Last couple days we have not had to help him up at all. He looks so much better and is getting around without any difficulties whatsoever. The vet is still coming out this week to run more lab work to see if his liver and muscle enzymes have...

Great idea on the stall mat - we have one out in the leanto area, I'll make sure to do that as soon as I get home and put down lots of extra bedding for him. His pen is probably 10 x 10. I hope we are doing all the right things, this is our first experience and we for sure want to take all the...

Ok, thanks. I have some bedding for him to lie down on, but whenever he gets free run of the garage when we are home during the day he always wants to get out and lie on the cold concrete. We only let him lay during the day for a couple hours (if that) at a time and then try to get him up and...

Our little guy with his buddy Boo who stays close to him. She loves her Jonah!!

Ok, good to know about the urine. I just went out and checked on them and Jonah had his head resting on Johnson's back - so cute; so good to know that company can be good. I bought a carrot flavored block with selenium - would it be better to get the regular white salt block - cause it doesn't...

I really noticed past couple days that our minis urine is a cloudy, whitish/yellowish color - very weird - should be concerned with this? Also, he has been very tired looking, appears to be leaning to the left (like he is putting all his weight on that side), and trying to lie down a lot. I have...

We have clay too amenfarm, so I'll have to tell my hubby how you handled putting the posts in; that may be some benefit when we try to put our fence in here in a couple months. Great advice with the 2x4s too- I know my hubby has used a come-a-long on the chain link we put up, but makes sense...

Poor little bunny!! Hope he is all better!!

I totatlly agree with what Queen Mum said. Bottom line, if you can't take care of the animal then find someone who can! My neighbors' raise meat rabbits - well you would think they knew how to handle a sick bunny.....oh no, they brought it to me and I'm JUST NOW learning about bunnies!! Well...

Thanks Currycomb! I truly hope he is and we are willing to put in the time to get him healthy again. I love this little guy - he just captures your heart. Not that I don't love the others, cause I do dearly. It's just this guy always had that boyish, innocent look to him and that's never changed...

I just saw this and know it's way late info, but we have a sick mini donkey right now and our vet said to watch his gums and if they turned purple - it meant he had a twisted stomach and would have to put him down. Let us know what you did find out!!

My heart goes out to you!! Our little Johnson looks similar to little Hank. Gosh, we love our little guys, don't we? :hugs
