Brian says hello!

Brian aged 22 days!

You may remember Brian from the recent story and video clip Maible gives birth. Brian was born in our Isolation Unit on 14th July and he is now starting to develop into a real little character being very independent and inquisitive.

Brian and his mum are still living at the Isolation Unit, where they have a lovely cosy stable, and as long as the weather isn't too bad they have access to a paddock, where they can graze or sunbathe as they choose all day long. Brian likes to say hello to his neighbours as you can see from the video clip below.

Whilst Brian still relies on milk from his mum, he has started to copy her by eating the grass and in the mornings when she has her breakfast he sticks his little nose in the bowl and tries to share!

Thank you for the video clip of Brian, he is so cute.

Please can we have regular updates on Brian's progress? It's so uplifting to watch the antics of donkey foals. I have 3 ex-racing donkeys who can be total maniacs when the mood takes them (and it does so regularly!), but I still get a thrill out of watching foals playing and being curious about everything.
