Is it possible to grow treats like carrots in the crop fields, or is it only grain?

The other day she told me I was putting way too many crickets in the reptile enclosures. I put in like 10 and we are supposed to put around a dozen. Then she said that is the reason one of the chameleons died .-. (The chameleon came in sick when we got it)

Right now I am just going to do as I am told and let them handle the stuff I am not allowed to do anymore. See how much longer it takes them and what doesn't get done. Let them see I am not the issue.

Realistically, I just don't think some people want others there, was more my point. And will constantly bend and morph rules to try and make you miserable.

Del,
Well, she was whiny in general, too. I was too small to pick up a german shepherd safely and refused, suddenly it was passed off as "refusing work."

Amongst other things.

One time she snapped at me for "snarking" at her when I said, in a polite tone, "alright, I understand" to something she explained.

Versa,

Thats such an odd reason to fire someone lol

If thats truly how it is there, then I would start looking for a new position. Working in an environment where you have to constantly second guess yourself is stressful. Not good for the mental :)

My prior internship I got "fired" from. Why? An older lady who was overseeing me and all of my daily activities dropped a can of treats on the floor. She looked really in pain when she bent over to pick them up, so I offered to help.

She looked like I just screamed an insult at her...

But like I said there is always two workers and we do it all together. The main person I work with and do everything with is the Manager, which is the owners second in command

Sometimes people will explain how to do something one way but actually complete the task another. We dont always completely verbalize our process. There might be some unspoken rules that are at play here that you can only see if you shadow the task. Im sure this is frustrating.

Yep. That is one of the main reasons I left my last job. I worked there for almost 6 years and did everything the same way all those years which is the way I was taught and told by the owner. Then suddenly everything I was doing was wrong.

I would ask to shadow the owner or a coworker again for those tasks. Maybe a step in the task is escaping you and you don’t even realize it.

Well, the owner can't have it both ways. They can't train their employees one way, and do the same thing a different way. It's just gonna confuse, and piss off said workers. They get paid to do what they're trained to do.

The way I was trained is the way she says it is supposed to be done. I seriously don't understand

So my trainer has a wild donkey whos super skittish and scared of people. I work with him about once or twice a week, and yesterday was the first time he ate out of my hand! He also was very close to me and sniffed my hand a couple times, I wouldnt consider it first touch but his nose did touch my hand a couple times! My goal is to get him comfortable with people, and potentially halter train him.
When I first started with him he would gallop away as fast as possible when I approached and now hes unsure/on edge but he doesnt run away and doesnt spook as much.
I'll share some pics and some videos here and I'll just be documenting our journey :)

Look how sweet his little face is!
This was yesterday
I spent about 30 minutes with him, letting him eat out of my hand and talking to him
By the end he was eating confidently out of my hand

On wednesday, I did a short session with him because I didnt have much time but still wanted to say hi to him. And awesome news! He was at the other end of his house (its a very large house) and he saw me coming and trotted over! 🥺♥️
Adorable
He was comfortable eating out of my hand and having me face towards him
I'm planning on being there later today and tomorrow morning, so I'll post updates about that :D

Spent time with the donkey yesterday :)
I sat inside his house for the first time (normally I sit outside)
He was a little bit unsure at first but quickly calmed down and was happy
He also met me at the gate! So cute
And maybe the most exciting part is I had my hand strectched towards him, and he decided to reach out and touch it! Adorable.
And here are some pictures!

It's been awhile since I updated, sorry everyone
He's doing very well! I've been really busy though, so less time with him
But I have worked with him a couple times, and he's just the sweetest boy
I'm hanging out with him right now actually!
He knows "come" and comes over when called
And he's learning that me clicking = he gets a tasty snack
Ive patted him a couple times but he is still shy which is ok!
He's relaxed a ton though and seems to enjoy my company
He comes up to everyone for treats and pats now! It's adorable
We still have a lot of work to do but he's doing great
Very proud of the little guy
