We can not tell the exact number of animals in the manger. But it is quite possible that there were a few animals there.
I dont think that it is mentioned in The Bible that there were any animals present at all. However Mary did arrive in Bethlehem on a donkey so it seems viable they would have taken it into the "barn" with them. Also, since many people believe it was around Winter time that Jesus was born, all animals would have been kept in shelters to keep warm. But like I said before, I do not think the Bible say's that there were any for sure.
**Fun Fact** Many people believe that the Wise men arrived shortly after Jesus's birth, as the shepherds did, but they actually showed up years later after Jesus was already 2 or 3 years old!
