The Grooming

After "Starting Off" and "Meeting th Donkeys" we got to groom them. We brushed them and got a demonstration of how to clean their eyes and hooves.

Donkeys eyes have to be cleaned regularly with water and cotton wool, otherwise they will get infections.

You also have to clean their hooves with a hoof pick, or else they get leg and hoof problems.Like humans, donkeys also have to cut their nails or file their hooves. Only thing is that they have to have one specialy trained person called  a 'farrier' to file their hooves for them.

                                                                    It was cool and interesting!!

For more wait till next week.
