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.
this and the three days without shitting post
and jeans and the weird wizard spells
And the orb pondering! Although, that wasn’t as big as this
I was hear for the beans and the jeans, but what’s this about weird wizard spells?
And the beans?
This one never got traction but it was a personal favorite: https://lemm.ee/comment/1808516

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!
