Just like human siblings, it’s not uncommon for our pets to fight like cats and dogs, or in this case, mini donkeys and horses. Lovingly referred to as a complete menace by his humans, this mini donkey named Herschel spends his free time trying to play with the other animals on the farm, and finally got put in his place after annoying his big brother, a horse named Wrigley, for the last time.
Younger siblings love nothing more than to annoy their older siblings, and after watching this TikTok from @whoopsanothervetbill, Herschel seems to be a pro at it!
Viewers had a lot to say about Herschel and Wrigley’s battle for top dog, and left hundreds of comments, and some of them cracked us up.
@the_rambling_renegade pointed out, “He done smacked him down and the little snot came back for more!”
Commenter @savannah.rainee shared, “It’s the polite warning kick from Wrigley and the peanut gallery in the back for me LOL!” After reading some negative comments about how unsafe it was to have the donkey in with the horses, she added, “Everyone worried here clearly has no idea how tough donkeys are lol!” @alzjunkyard also noticed the peanut gallery, “The other horses need some popcorn!”
@madladywithabox11 made us laugh when she pointed out, “I love how the donkey acts like he won that round lol!”
More about Herschel and Wrigley’s Big Fight
Commenter @cookieclicker shared, “Am I the only one thinking that the horse reacted really gently? He neither really bites nor kicks the donkey. He just pushed him away when he went on full attack mode, and that’s why he fell.”
Donkeys and horses can get along! @whoopsanothervetbill shared more about what was really going on in the video’s caption. “Wrigley doesn’t appreciate being pestered, only doing the pestering. (Wrigley has a King Cock personality) He tells him no nicely many times.
He and Herschel can get rough (male donkeys in particular do tend to play a bit more on the aggressive side), but Herschel never gives up. He’s totally fine, got right back up, and continued trying to annoy him.
This was their first time seeing each other in 2.5 months, while Wrigley was away at training, bro just wanted to come home and relax. Herd dynamics are always stressful when someone leaves for an extended period of time. They have almost 5 acres to roam, but Herschel has to be right up someone’s butt. Again, he’s *completely* fine and unscathed.”
