BISOUS

Beautiful Bisous, our second backwater born baby, came into this world May 20th, 2019. Her mother Peach was rescued from the streets in April 2018, when she was about a month or so pregnant.

A donkey’s gestation period is between 12-14 months. As the months rolled by, Peach looked more swollen and by the 9th month we could confirm a healthy pregnancy.

Having spent nearly all of her pregnancy period under our care with fresh grass and plenty of hay all year round, Peach gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby foal.

Bisous has grown into a beautiful young lady, with a wonderfully wild spirit. As peach, Lu and Donkeykong were ill treated in the past, they had lost trust in humans. When they arrived at the sanctuary, we noticed this and decided to leave them wild and free with zero human interference. They’re the happiest donkeys you’ll meet. Bisous has had zero human contact now and is happiest left free to roam our land. A wildling at heart, she is a force to be reckoned with.

 
 

Watch our little angel Bisous take her first steps of a life of absolute freedom.
