Best Answer

Donkeys' teeth like the teeth of horses always grow. Donkeys and horses have the same dental equipment. Dr. Hyde at The American School of Equine Dentistry has this to say in response to a doubt regarding donkeys' teeth:

"There has been a lot of interest in donkey teeth since the Shrek movie!

The answer is the same as horses... 36 usually for females and 40 or 42 or

more if they have "wolf" teeth." When the Southwest Equine Medical & Surgical Center in Scottsdale,

Arizona is contacted. the following clarification is given:

A Male Donkey will have 42 - 44 teeth. The variance is related to how

many canines erupt. Some donkeys will have 2 and some will have 4.

Genetics generally plays a role in whether they have 2 or 4 canine

teeth.

A Jenny (Female Donkey) will have 36 - 38 teeth. A very large

percentage of Females won't ever have any canines erupt.
