I did not grow up on a farm; however, I grew up in the country. I was familiar with the typical cattle and swine farms. Meanwhike, I did not think about other animals affecting the farm. When I started school at ISU I had a teammate who lived on a farm. She invited me to her place and it was love at first site. I thought her donkey was the coolest animal I had ever seen. He was also unbalievably friendly. Ever since then, Eeyore is my favorite animal and I would love to learn more about him and his behaviors. ]]> 2019-01-18 05:01:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/321998460 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329719959 Donkeys have to chew their food in order to prepare it for digestion. As the article said "animal’s species, body size, physiologic state, level of intake, amount of fiber in the diet, physical form of the feed, and the size of the feed particle" all affect the feeding behavior (  P J P J Mueller). In Mueller's' study, he theorized that donkeys consume more quickly than ruminants because they do not chew their food as well. ]]> 2019-02-11 04:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329719959 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329724146 I chose this picture because this donkey has different hair color than your typical donkey. His genes allowed him to have white through out his body. Meanwhile, the typical donkey has a white belly, white nose, and dark grey on the rest of the body.]]> 2019-02-11 04:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329724146 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329728886 This page talked about donkeys being trained between the ages of being a new born- 10 months. This told me that donkeys learn the most before being weaned from their mothers. ]]> 2019-02-11 05:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329728886 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329732708 The donkeys being pre-trained in this article are displaying classical conditioning. The donkeys were being led or touched by a human so that they become familiar with their human. After a while the donkey will just follow the human holding their halter and not have to be pulled.]]> 2019-02-11 05:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329732708 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/329735970 Donkeys typically pull grass in with their lips, however they originate in the desert. Since they eat grass and are in a dessert they don't have a whole lot of food.

Auditory: Bray which can mean distress or a greeting.
Tactile: Nuzzling, allogrooming, mock fighting, playing, and they also have two different methods of greeting including: "Nose to nose" or "Flank to genitals".
Chemical/smell: They use the Flehmen response which we discussed in class as the curling of the lip from the touch or taste of a female in estrous urine.

They then claim their herd by peeing on their poop. If another male tries to enter their territory the dominant donkey will look alert with his ears pointing forward.

Donkeys shouldn't eat all day like horses. They can become overweight easily so they should be fed a few time a day. Donkeys also don't require as much water. ]]> 2019-04-05 05:42:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/348804393 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/348995919 2019-04-05 16:23:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/348995919 mmgarnh https://padlet.com/mmgarnh/mfxda1bf13wn/wish/356759547 http://www.horsewelfare.ca/horse-welfare-resources/124-handling-guidelines-horse-welfare
