Not enough Fiber in their diet?

So our Donkeys have now decided that in addition to the grass in our pasture and the occasional Privet Hedge and Oak and Pecan leaves, that they will now indulge in a new delicacy.   The siding on our barn!

We noticed that they have been chewing on the siding and have pulled a few small pieces off the back of the barn.   I sprayed some of the "Evil Fly Spray" on it this evening to keep them away, I doubt it will work.

Like they aren't getting enough to eat already.   We just started them on new supplement that is all natural and Garlic based to see if it will help control the fly problem we have.   Also, we don't have to worry about Vampires coming around the pasture or barn either now.

I saw on a video of a friend that has donkeys that he had chicken wire put on on the outside of his barn.  I am willing to bet he's had the same problem and I've sent him an email to find out.   It surely can't hurt.

Less than two weeks now until our Pygmy Goats come to live with us.   We can't wait to get them here and settled and start blogging about them too.

Have a great evening, and I leave you with this picture from a few weeks ago.  Mr. Wallace came to cut the pasture and Pancho and Lefty treated him like the Pied Piper.   Every time he came up to the top of the pasture, they followed behind him.   They sure are a curious pair...
