Orphan baby jack

[Jclaiborn]

Good morning,
We currently have 5 mini donkeys on our property. 2 grays who are mother/daughter and 2 spots who are aunt/niece. One of the spots was pregnant when we got her and had a little Jack back in may. We have already found a new home for him and he will be leaving around Thanksgiving.
Last night. I was offered a 3 month old orphan spotted Jack. I was wondering what the chances of our mama spot taking him in?

If mini donkeys are anything like miniature horses, it really depends on the individual animal's temperament and maternal instinct. Just like occasionally a mini mare who has just foaled will try to kill their own baby! Then, there are mares who will try to steal another mare's foal! You just never know, IMO.
