did you try the donkey sanctury for info. I heard they are good with helping people and even do courses in donkey care if you want it.

With horses anyway, it's safe enough to feed as much hay as they will eat, not so hot on my donkey care but I imagine the same would apply. If you find they are getting a bit porky I'd cut down on the nuts rather than the hay.
