No, they are herbivores.
Donkeys are herbivores, meaning they eat plant matter. Usually grass, but will also eat tree or bush leaves, fruit, tree bark. Grain is rarely fed to donkeys as it is "too rich" for their digestive tract and they will gain too much weight and can founder and possibly die.

An exception to the "no grain rule" is a mixture of shredded beet pulp and whole oats soaked in warm water with an addition of magnesium oxide and trace minerals that allows delivery of vitamins and minerals that are required to maintain good health. Miniature donkeys should get no more than 1/4 to 1/3 cup of this mixture per day. Small Standards and Standards, 1/2 cup. Large Standards to Mammoth, 2 cups per day. This is fed in addition to all the grass hay they can eat. Severly limiting their diet to keep them from getting fat backfires since a donkey's metabolism will slow to the point that fat builds up on their bodies in the form of fat pones (along the top of their necks, on their backs, hips, and bellies).
