When Biscuit was rescued, he was 7 years old, not gelded, and had serious issues with his feet. He had foundered before which can be detrimental to donkeys and he has had problems ever since. He needed to be on a special diet, required continual foot care, and close monitoring for the rest of his life. Special animals like this can get very pricey and often these issues go untreated and the animal suffers immensely or they wind up at auction, but not Biscuit! After multiple joint vet and farrier visits, he was well on his way to only requiring routine hoof maintenance. Biscuit is like the sweet Daddy of the herd, quickly befriending the newer residents that consistently seek out his companionship.
