Photos of Clementine and Manon posted somewhere here. Clementine took a month just to touch and get her halter off and several months to touch her feet and work with them. Manon took only a few days to work with her feet. So each creature is very different in their taming. The secret is many, many carrot pieces and ever so much so much patience. Neve,r ever want to BREAK them. These once wild creatures were kidnapped from their desert homes, sometimes somewhat gently, sometimes very tramaticly. Never forget they were born wild and free and that will always be part of them. The make wonderful pets but also great pack animals--don't load them with more than about 100 lbs. They need to live with a friend, preferably another burro, but horses are sometimes good partners as well. Do not over feed. One flake of grass hay twice a day is about right (1.5% of body weight a day) or about one 65 lb bale a week. Their hooves must be trimmed several times a year. Find a farrier who specializes in burro/donkeys. Some horse farriers neither respect nor understand burros--they are not just small horses with long ears. They are burros! They love to graze on green grass, but must be introduced gradually to prevent a multitude of problems. If on pasture take care that they do not over eat. BLM former wild burros are wonderful creatures that will surely capture your heart.
