'dug a hole' is the definition.
'burrowed' can be an answer for 'dug' (burrowing is a kind of digging). I am not sure about the 'a hole' bit.

'donkey no longer single' is the wordplay.
'donkey' becomes 'burro' (term for a small donkey).
'no longer single' becomes 'wed' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
