Andrew is the 1-year old son of mother Sasha. A name giving contest was held and Andrew was chosen; actually his full name is Andrew Pikabu, but that name is too long. Andrew really listens to that name. He is a nice and quiet donkey; the only bad habit he has is that he keeps on biting the fence. He takes a good bite into the wood and inhales deeply. It is a strange habit, which sometimes occurs when horses or donkeys are bored. But Andrew is not bored at all; he is interacting with the other donkeys and has a whale of a time. So now and then we just replace the wood of the fence and that is that.

Two weeks after his mother Bunny and big bro Maestro were brought in at the sanctuary, little Amadeus was born. The volunteers at the sanctuary knew that Bunny was pregnant, but they did not know when the happy occasion of Amadeus’ birth would be. Pregnancy in donkeys takes between 11 and 14 months. When the volunteers came into the corral in the morning, a healthy, cute donkey boy was curiously looking at them.

At this time the ratio between male and female donkeys is 60-40, so the ladies are loving the attention. They are thriving!

Ella, Naomi, Victoria & Mark Provost visited the donkey sanctuary and fell in love with our very friendly donkey One Eye. One Eye and her daughter Primrose didn't leave the family alone.

Ellen O'Neil adopted Chula after reading her story on Facebook. In March 2014, she will come and visit her adoption baby. We will have to make a picture of the both of them. Looking forward Ellen!
