If you’re interested in buying a miniature donkey, you should know that they’ll cost you anywhere from $500 – $2,000. Their ultimate price tag will depend on things like age, gender, and size. A healthy female who is ready to breed will be more expensive than a retired, gelded male.

Can a donkey be a good pet?
Donkeys are typically very sweet and gentle, and can make great pets! They are quite smart, however, and hate being yelled at or forced into anything. Always be gentle with your donkey. Offer treats (hint: apples) and ear scritches, and let him—or her—get to know you.

Do donkeys need to be in pairs?
Donkeys need a friend. It is vital to their health and well-being. They will often pair up for life with one donkey or other equines such as horses, mules, and goats. They can get very stressed when removed from their companion or even when the companion has died.
Are donkeys good with dogs?
While dogs are unlikely to hurt your donkey, your donkey might try to kick or stomp on your dog. If you want to keep dogs and donkeys in close quarters, you should probably only do so with large dogs that are trained to be around large animals like a donkey.
Should donkeys be stabled at night?
Most donkeys normally need to drink more water in winter than in Summer as they are consuming more dried food. We recommend miniatures are stabled at night, especially in winter. Additionally for security purposes a stable with security lights is the safest place for such friendly animals all year round after dark.
