How We Care for Our Miniature Donkeys
Our miniature donkey health program combines routine preventive care with management practices designed around the individual animal.
Regular Handling
Our miniature donkeys are handled regularly so they become accustomed to people and routine care.
Handling is especially important for young donkeys because it helps them become familiar with basic farm procedures such as being caught, led, examined, and handled for veterinary and hoof care.
We introduce foals to farrier handling early. Foals generally begin farrier handling and light hoof shaping around 2–3 months of age, depending on the individual animal.
Vaccinations
Our vaccination program includes core vaccines as well as risk-based vaccines when appropriate.
Core Annual Vaccines
Our annual core vaccination program includes:
- Tetanus Toxoid
- Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE)
- Western Equine Encephalomyelitis (WEE)
- West Nile Virus (WNV)
- Rabies
Risk-Based Vaccines
Depending on individual circumstances and veterinary recommendations, our program may also include:
- Equine Influenza
- Equine Herpesvirus (EHV-1/EHV-4)
Vaccination schedules are managed with veterinary guidance and may vary according to the animal, age, health status, exposure risk, and other circumstances.
Add Your Heading Text Here
Pregnant jennets receive Pneumabort-K (EHV-1) at approximately:
- 5 months of gestation
- 7 months of gestation
- 9 months of gestation
Vaccination decisions are made as part of our veterinary-guided management program.
Deworming & Parasite Control
We do not rely on routine calendar-based deworming.
Instead, we use a targeted parasite-management strategy designed to identify animals that need treatment while reducing unnecessary deworming and helping limit parasite resistance.
Fecal Egg Counts (FEC) are performed through our veterinarian approximately twice a year:
- Spring
- Fall
Animals identified as high shedders are treated appropriately.
We also use an annual late-fall or winter treatment with moxidectin or ivermectin for encysted small strongyles as part of our parasite-control program.
In addition to veterinary-directed parasite management, manure is manually removed from paddocks approximately twice each week.
Routine Hoof Care
Healthy hooves are an important part of miniature donkey care.
Our donkeys receive professional farrier care approximately every 6–8 weeks, with the exact schedule adjusted when necessary based on the individual animal’s growth, hoof condition, environment, and needs.
Young foals are introduced to farrier handling early, with light shaping generally beginning around 2–3 months of age.
Veterinary Care
We work with veterinary professionals as needed to monitor the health of our miniature donkeys and to address individual health concerns.
Veterinary involvement includes vaccination planning, fecal testing, health examinations, transportation documentation when required, and other medical care when appropriate.
Coggins / Equine Infectious Anemia Testing
Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) is a viral disease that can affect horses, donkeys, and mules. There is currently no cure or vaccine for EIA.
A Coggins test is commonly used to test for EIA.
For animals sold or transported from our farm, we provide applicable health documentation based on the circumstances and destination. When a current negative Coggins/EIA test is required or appropriate, the required testing and documentation will be coordinated accordingly.
Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI)
When required for transportation, we work with a licensed veterinarian to provide the appropriate Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI).
CVI and animal-entry requirements can vary depending on the destination state and current regulations. Because requirements can change, buyers should confirm the current requirements for their destination before transportation is scheduled.
We will work with the buyer and veterinarian to help coordinate the documentation needed for the donkey’s journey.

Health Records
We maintain health information for our animals and provide applicable records and documentation to buyers as part of the purchase process.
Depending on the individual donkey and circumstances, documentation may include information relating to vaccinations, veterinary care, testing, and transportation requirements.

What Are Miniature Donkeys Like?
Miniature donkeys are intelligent, social animals that can form strong relationships with their handlers.
They are often valued as companion animals and can be a wonderful addition to the right farm or homestead.
However, miniature does not mean maintenance-free.
A miniature donkey still requires appropriate nutrition, clean water, shelter, fencing, companionship, routine hoof care, parasite management, veterinary care, and responsible daily management.
Every donkey also has its own personality. Some are naturally outgoing and curious, while others may be more reserved.
This is one reason we encourage prospective buyers to ask questions about the individual donkey rather than choosing an animal based solely on appearance.
How Big Do Miniature Donkeys Get?
Miniature donkeys are smaller than standard donkeys, but size can vary between individual animals and bloodlines.
When evaluating a miniature donkey, we recommend looking at the animal’s current height as well as its age, parents, conformation, and expected mature size when that information is available.
Young donkeys may continue to grow as they mature, so current height should not always be treated as the animal’s final mature height.
If adult size is important to you, ask us about the individual donkey you are considering.
Caring for a Miniature Donkey
Before purchasing a miniature donkey, make sure you are prepared for its ongoing needs.
Shelter
Miniature donkeys need access to appropriate shelter from weather and environmental conditions.
Your shelter should be clean, dry, appropriately sized, and safely constructed.
Fencing
Safe fencing is essential.
Before your donkey arrives, inspect your fencing for gaps, sharp edges, loose wires, damaged boards, or other hazards.
Food & Water
Your donkey should have access to clean, fresh water and an appropriate diet based on its individual needs, body condition, activity level, environment, and veterinary or nutritional guidance.
Avoid making sudden changes to feed.
Companionship
Donkeys are social animals and should not be treated as solitary livestock without carefully considering their social and welfare needs.
Discuss your current animals and planned housing arrangement with us before purchase if you are unsure whether your setup is appropriate.
Hoof Care
Plan for routine professional hoof care throughout your donkey’s life.
Veterinary Care
Establish a relationship with an equine veterinarian who is comfortable treating donkeys before your new animal arrives.
Are Miniature Donkeys Good Pets?
Miniature donkeys can make wonderful companion animals for the right owner.
They can be affectionate, intelligent, entertaining, and rewarding to care for.
However, they are livestock and require appropriate housing, nutrition, companionship, veterinary care, hoof care, and daily attention.
They are not simply a low-maintenance alternative to a dog or cat.
Before purchasing, consider whether you have:
- Safe fencing
- Appropriate shelter
- Suitable forage and nutrition
- Reliable clean water
- Appropriate companionship
- Space for the animal
- Access to veterinary care
- A farrier familiar with donkeys
- Time for regular handling and care
- A plan for transportation and emergencies
If you are prepared for those responsibilities, a miniature donkey can be a wonderful addition to a farm or homestead.
