I love donkeys. They are just the cutest animal ever and i can probably relate as they look so miserable all of the time.
For my birthday last Sunday, my wife and kids took me to the Island Donkey Sanctuary in Wallingford, Oxford.
The donkeys were kept in a dry and covered location, but had nothing to do! I asked why and it is because the fields are too wet. I felt sorry for the donkeys with nothing to do all day, so have asked if i can help with trying to help.
Can anyone help me with Donkey toys?
I also want to try and build a donkey scratcher.... I was thinking of a oil drum with some stiff bristle sweeping brushes mounted on the sides. If the oil drum is filled with concrete, this will weight it down. For the larger equine beast, an fence post mounted in the concrete with further brushes mounted here.
If anyone is interested, i would love to hear your ideas. If anyone has any spare clean drums or brushes, they would be welcomed.
The donkeys are thankful!
