This audible is a good overview of history, behavior, and care. My only recommendation is to also check with your vet to ensure what you are doing is right for your donkey about worming and feed. For the beginner, it is a great book to know the breed and behavior.

Really great guide!!!

We have guard donkeys for our goats. This book was very enlightening and some times funny. We love it and would highly recommend it.

Extra an excellent, educational handbook by Dion Rosser. A must-book if you are thinking of getting donkeys. Wasn't much help for working with wild burros, but good for overall donkey info, particularly concerning diet.

This is a well written, well articulated resource for one who is seriously thinking about committing to donkey ownership, as well as a great resource for those who already have the pleasure of owning a donkey.

This audible has everything you require to know about how to take care of your long ears and more! I was very happy with how it is written; it is very simple to relate to. The writer has made a fabulous job at making my practice worthwhile and fun-loving :)

Adorable book.

This audible is also helpful than it looked, To be honest, donks are simple to take care of and I was a worried new owner. Whatever real issues I've wanted to be responded to have been here in this audible.

This audible has a lot of nice data about Donkeys, but there is also a lot of "fluff". If (like me) you just needed the down and dirty aspects of getting and retaining a donkey there may be better books out there. There is a ton of history and breed knowledge in here.

Comprehensive

Not much on donkey care and makes looking after donkeys sound too simple. There is also too much about what donkeys can do for us. Donkeys are not on this earth to serve humans, this is why they end up being mistreated and neglected because of this attitude. And the narration is jarring. Rather than wasting a credit, check out the free training you can find on the UK The Donkey Sanctuary website.

Dreadful and not about donkey care
