A normal donkey calf usually weighs 50-60 pounds at birth, but when Tiny Tim was born, he weighed under 10 pounds and looked like a bunny. Due to his minuscule size, he had a bad liver and several other health complications.

A couple decided to take care of Tiny Tim and give him a fair chance at life. They used a syringe to feed him at timely intervals. With dedicated love and care from his adoptive parents, Tim started growing up like a healthy donkey.
Tim was originally meant to stay with the barn animals, but as time passed, it became clear that his sheltered upbringing had turned him into a mischievous and playful puppy! Tom’s parents also feared for his safety, so they let him stay indoors with the other pups.
