MINI DONKEY - Shelter and Safety - How we safely secure our Sicilian Mini Donkey

Описание: Luca is our sweet, playful, social, curious, energetic, loving and smart mini donkey. He is part of our backyard urban farm and joins the other members of our half acre mini farm.

He's been part of the farm family for 2 years. We adopted him when he was 6 months old. He is like a giant puppy dog and wants to be near us whenever we are out in the yard or working in the garden. His energy can get a bit high and we needed a way to keep him safely out of our way when we need to get some work done in a hurry.

We had been dragging a heavy piece of plywood that we would prop up in the barn door opening and this was getting pretty old. Lee decided to solve the problem of keeping Luca contained by making a gate from old 2 x 4 lumber salvaged from our farmyard. It is built using half lap construction and a piece of cattle panel fencing material. It hinges and latches out of the way because we very rarely need to have Luca behind bars.

It's also a preventative solution in case we ever need to isolate for veterinary purposes. Donkeys are very healthy animals and low need, except for companionship and attention. He's so adorable and very talkative so his needs are very easily met!
