This was in response to someone considering getting a donkey.
I grew up on farm & we had two donkeys, Honeybun & Buttercup. Buttercup was older & eventually passed away, leaving Honeybun solo amongst the chickens, cows & horses.
Honeybun became ornery as all get out, just mean as hell. He’d started to bite anything close enough to be bitten. These weren’t little nips for attention; he’d draw blood given chance.
It got bad enough my grandfather carried a potato soaked in hot sauce to deter the donkey from biting. Grandpa would try to shove the potato into the donkey’s mouth when Honeybun went in to bite.
I know some donkeys get along well with horses. Honeybun did not. He bit those horses, went after chickens that wandered into his area, & likely would’ve done the same to cows if we’d let him.
I don’t have any specific advice for you, but I do believe donkeys get lonely & need some measure of companionship.

That’s a great post, sad it didn’t get known
Don’t be naughty or you’ll get a spicy potato!
Jokes on you! I love my spicy potatos!
That was a good read. Definitely worthy of a save. Thanks for sharing fellow Lemming!

I was here for the beans and the jeans, but what’s this about weird wizard spells?

And the orb pondering! Although, that wasn’t as big as this
