Donkeys have a lower tolerance for cold weather compared to some other livestock. They particularly dislike rain and can suffer in colder climates if not adequately protected. Providing a sturdy three-sided shelter or even a barn to block wind and precipitation is essential. During cold snaps, it may be necessary to blanket them to ensure their comfort. Ensuring clean bedding and access to fresh water, along with proper ventilation in their shelter, is also crucial for their well-being in colder temperatures.
