Step into the world of our miniature donkeys and unlock the wonders of these extraordinary creatures
Unlike many other miniature breeds, the miniature donkey is not a bred-down version of a larger donkey. Their small size is natural!
Donkeys communicate by braying, a sound also known as a "hee-haw." Each donkey has its own style of braying, which can range from barely being audible to a "thunderous bray."
They form close attachments to their owners and to other donkeys. Donkeys are herd animals and do not respond well to isolation. Because of their laid-back personalities, they make wonderful companions for children, people with disabilities, and elderly people.
