WITH the heatwave across Devon and much of the country, these cool resident donkeys at The Donkey Sanctuary Sidmouth have been enjoying some grated carrots frozen in ice.

A spokesperson for the sanctuary says: ‘Not only does the healthy frozen treat help cool them down, but it also provides a valuable form of enrichment.

‘Donkeys love exploring, and this activity allows them to exhibit their natural foraging behaviours – a key factor in improving donkey welfare.

‘It is also very important that the donkeys have clean drinking water, and access to shelter so they can get out of the hot sun.’

STAY COOL
