Jenny behind the pink string.

Here is Jenny in her new temporary pen. We used some pink string and marked off a little section. Just wondering if she would stay inside the pink string area or not.

virus

So like I mentioned in the previous blog we are pretty sure jenny has a stran of the herpes virus. We bought a vet book over the weekend that showed us pictures and they match the way Jenny looks. I had also called the older man we purchased her from and he knew nothing about it. His Jack is the carrier of it and he needed to know about it. The man is currently selling the rest of his donkeys so I have no idea if he will tell anyone purchasing them. I doubt it. So Daryl I I have read that the virus is the same as with humans and the outbreaks come and go. We do plan to have a vet come out and do a farm call sometime in the next few weeks. I just hope my pretty jenny is not pregnant. Donkey's with Jenny's condition can give birth to babies that have respiratory problems. I would just be happy having my Jenny not go through all that!

So since I was unable to find any info on this I wanted to post about it so maybe I can help other people looking for information. I will post more as we learn more.

Jenny - Our Donkey

Here is Jenny, our new donkey. She stayed in the rabbit barn for a couple of nights till we finished her new pen. The rabbits were scared .....
She is now in her new area and loves grazing. Jenny comes up to the gate when Mary goes out to play with her. I think she is getting use to us now.

Donkey

We got a donkey on Friday! I have been looking for a donkey. We got Jenny for $200 and that included delivery! She is great! She spent a few nights in our rabbit barn, but today she is out and about in her 1/4 acre pen Daryl put up for her. She loves it too! Soon as I get done with lunch I will go see how she is doing. We went ahead and used our fence we were gonna put up at the front of the property. Jenny needs her own space. Plus rabbits were ready for her to move out--haha! She was knocking all the rabbit feeders off the cages and we had a few, "jail breaks". Everybody has been caught though. Jenny either smelled the food in the feeders or she was bored. She is looking great in her new pen now though. There is a donkey that lives way back behind us. We don't see him, but we hear him and she does too. When he HeeHaws she does too. It is great!

i will have pics up soon!
