Yes, donkeys can eat grapes, but only in small amounts as an occasional treat.
While grapes aren't toxic to donkeys, moderation is key. Like many sweet fruits, grapes contain sugar, and excessive sugar intake can lead to health problems in donkeys, such as:
- Weight gain: Donkeys are prone to obesity, and sugary treats contribute to this.
- Dental issues: Sugar can promote tooth decay.
- Metabolic disorders: Too much sugar can disrupt their metabolic balance.
Therefore, if you choose to feed your donkey grapes, offer only a small handful as an occasional treat. A few grapes are fine, but avoid giving them large quantities. Always monitor your donkey for any signs of digestive upset after introducing a new food.
