FAQ

Why can’t I just feed my donkey horse feed?

Donkeys have significantly different nutritional requirements to horses. They are adapted to survive on sparse, high-fibre, low-energy vegetation and are much more prone to obesity and related conditions like hyperlipemia when fed high-energy horse feeds. Saracen Donkey Diet is specifically formulated for donkey physiology.

Is it suitable for mules and hinnies?

Yes — mules and hinnies share similar nutritional requirements to donkeys and can benefit from a donkey-specific feed. Consult your vet for specific dietary advice.

Can I soak it for a donkey with dental problems?

Yes — Saracen Donkey Diet can be soaked into a soft mash, making it suitable for donkeys with poor dentition who struggle to chew harder feeds.

Is it suitable for donkeys prone to laminitis?

The low energy formula makes Donkey Diet a potentially suitable option for laminitis-prone donkeys. Always consult your vet for individual dietary advice.
