Teach Your Baby Donkey His Name
There are two reasons to name your baby donkey, one pet is new to your home or farm, or the other you have a newborn foal.
Naming is the first step right after birth. Usually, the baby donkey responds quickly. Maybe you have listened to a myth that the donkey does not show affection.
In my barn donkey is more smart and affectionate as compared to other farm animals. They learn things quickly and respond well. Here are few tips to teach your pet its name.
Please be sure you have picked the right name for your donkey. choose a name that will never get old. Do not choose a name based on its size, weight, or any other traits. You should choose a name that describes his personality and behavior.
Use treats for attraction, keep some pieces of parsnips, apples, or carrots for donkeys in hand. Every animal or pet responds to food, every time you calling its name, and rewarding with treat makes a great combination.
Never lie or cheat on food, like you call its name, and do not feed with a treat.
You can switch treats for games if your donkey doesn’t react. Throw some treats with his name and move around.
Once he responds you can feed him. Don’t call different nicknames like your donkey name is Jack never mold it into jacky or Jaki. Nicknames and repetitive confuse donkeys.
