FarmVille: Iced Donkey available as free gift for a limited time

As we told you earlier this week, Zynga has created a variety of iced animal sculptures for eventual release in FarmVille. One of those items, the Iced Cat, was already released in the latest FarmVille update, and today, we see the launch of another one of these frozen critters, in the form of the Iced Donkey, which is now available to send to your friends from the free gifts page, but only for a limited time.

The Iced Donkey is an aqua-colored frozen Donkey, standing atop a small mound of snow. Of course, if you have your land covered in snow, the base of this decorative item will blend right in, adding to the "realism." You'll be able to receive these Iced Donkeys as gifts only as long as it is available to send from the free's gifts page (if this is anything like the other "Limited Time" gifts, it won't last long), so make sure to ask your friends to send you one now, rather than later, to ensure that you don't miss out on the item entirely.

Have you created your own ice item collection in FarmVille? Which of the Iced Animals do you hope Zynga releases next, and how? Let us know in the comments.
