The donkeys are doing all right for donkeys. They get one/third of a bale of good hay a day, plus fresh water. Two or three times a week, they get equine cookies – hard baked with oats and vitamins. Maria brings them carrots each day and applies and they love to stand and crunch with her. They are remarkably gentle, eating the food carefully without ever coming near fingers. They are lucky. We are lucky.
