Baby Peter was born on 21st May.. His mother is Sinead, our big Irish donkey, and his father is Pierre, one of our big French donkeys. His big sister is Baby Kiwi When he was born he had very long legs, a long tail and his ears were so big that the ends were flapping in the wind ! Since then he has grown 1/2 an inch a week. He's going to be a big boy ! He is very friendly but also very independent.He is supposed to follow his Mum but often she follows him - and when she catches up with him she gives him a big push in the side ! Sinead is a very good Mum but we think he tries her patience !

July - 6 weeks old <<<< Sinead and Peter >>>>> Jake, Jasper and Peter In July Peter met all the other donkeys. He is so independent that he went straight off to talk to them. At first Sinead told them to go away but she soon gave up ! Kiwi was worried when Sinead chased her away and she had to kiss with Uncle Toby for comfort. However it wasn't long before all four were back together again. Sinead still protects Peter though if she thinks the others are getting too pushy . |

Here he is with Sinead in August.
He's looking very big - he's been growing half an inch a week ! |

>>>>> He has a lovely long fluffy mane too - but, like his father Pierre, he doesn't have any back or shoulder stripes. |
