Question :- what can be better than two donkeys?

Answer:- four!
We decided today that we would buy all four donkeys from the donkey breeder in Bideford. We certainly have the space and we were worried that the two we had decided on may miss the other two. Donkeys form very strong bonds with other donkeys, people and animals. For this reason you should at best have a minimum of two or keep the donkey with another pet such as a goat. If split up from their buddy, donkeys can suffer from hyperlipidemia which is a build up of fat in their blood which in turn can effect the liver and kill them. Despite watching the four yearlings closely it was hard to see any particular strong bonds, they seem to be one happy group. How could we split them! So now I need four female donkey names.
