Spring Time and Founder!
Donkeys and Mules need much less food than their horse relatives. They originated as desert animals, therefore able to survive on little forage. Here, we have an excess of grass, nutrient dense hay and supplements. We need to be very careful in the management of our long ears to ensure they stay healthy and avoid obesity and founder. Check out the links below for more information.
