They love each other very much and now they have the perfect owners that will love and care for themDarling Rupert was born on 7th July 2023. His mum Blossom had given birth 5 times before that we know of. However, she didn’t have an easy delivery and we had to step in and help. Rupert arrived a big healthy foal and was standing and feeding as he should in no time. He’s growing by the day and is going to be a BIG stocky donkey, just like his daddy Wallace and siblings Basil and Harley. He’s very friendly and loves a fuss. We will post updates about him in the News on here or you can see regular updates on our Facebook page. Isn’t he just adorable? We are all smitten.
In the blossoming month of April 2023, a delightful little foal captured our hearts. His story began when his loving mother, gave birth to him and then fell terribly ill. Tragically, just a month later, this tiny foal found himself utterly alone in a vast field, his mother miles away seeking treatment, and his older brother rehomed.
With his mother’s future uncertain due to a liver condition, this poor orphaned soul had been relying on his elderly owner to bottle-feed him. But as time passed, caring for him grew overwhelming.
We couldn’t stand idly by. Despite being at capacity, we opened our doors.
He straight away had a comprehensive vet check, including worming, vaccinations, and microchipping. We bottle fed him for another month, and then he did really well eating a small amount of hard feed and, of course, grass and hay.
