Did you know that some animals like the mini donkey are blanketed with some type of blanket or sheet on a year-round basis? In the cooler fall and winter months, some mini donkey owners will blanket their donkeys to protect them from the falling temperatures and damp rain or snowfall. In the spring and summer months, some mini donkey owners will blanket their donkeys with rain sheets when there’s heavy rainfall and no shelter is available. Fly sheets may also be used in the warmer months to serve as a protective armor against flies, gnats, ticks and other insects. For help determining when to blanket and how to blanket your mini donkey, talk with your vet or local grain or tack store associate. You may learn that there are also mini donkey owners that prefer not to blanket their donkeys at all. Talk with your veterinary clinic Marion County, AL to find out what’s best for your minis.
