Thanks all! Sorry we had a busy weekend and I wasn't online. I will take all this advise and start doing it immediately!! Still a huge learning process for me!

Lol. I might have to give that biting a try! Just teaching him things in general is what I was looking for tips on. He is good about picking up his feet. I've been teaching him tricks like picking up a bucket and his ball. But when I go to leave the barn that is when he bites me. He likes to...

I've been trying to teach him a few things.... Picking up stuff mostly. Any tips on that? He likes to bite me and the farrier told me that it is because I give him treats from my hand. He said put them in his food bowl. I don't know how I am supposed to teach him anything doing that??

Thanks again for all the advise. He is getting back to normal. He is not quite there yet but almost. He has been braying a little more :). I'm so happy I went ahead and had him gelded. I just love him.

So sad!!

Thanks all! I am a huge advocate of spaying and neutering for dogs and cats, I guess I just needed a reality check that it is just as important with farm animals. Melvin is doing pretty good this morning. He is quieter than normal which isn't a bad thing :). Thanks @Mini Horses the vet did not...

Update....... he was gelded this morning!:clap Shew, he gave us a workout!! He fought the tranquilizer and would not lay down, the vet had to give him extra. :ep

Thanks all! I will keep the appointment to get him gelded. :thumbsup

Good Morning, I have a mini jack that just turned 1. I have an appointment to get him gelded next Thursday. I just found 2 Jenny's that need rehomed last night and now I am debating on getting him gelded or not. The girls are mother and daughter ages are about 13-14 & 5-6 years old. Should I let...

I wish I could offer some advise. I am new to mini's. I will add that since my last post I had to rehome my lamb because my mini was biting her as well and I thought he was going to kill her. I can't wait to get him gelded.

Thanks! We did consider using one of those but we ended up putting up some temporary electric fence to separate them. Then on Sunday I got a lamb from a friend so now we are letting them bond. So far I have not seen him bite the lamb. Then hopefully this weekend we can put them all together again.

OMG!! He is so cute though!! My little mini is named Melvin. I sure do love him. :love

He was given to me from my cousin. I hope he will grow out of it. I have tried spending as much time with him as I can to make him more social and nice. Hope it works! She did that as well at her farm.

I have heard that!

Thanks so much. We do plan to get him gelded, just waiting for both to drop :)
