Sorry to hop in here...
My husband bought me 2 nigerian dwarf wethers for mothers day!!!!
(He absolutely gets the best husband award!!!)
Ford and Chevy, they are twins

Can they eat Japanese honey suckle??

When googling I get mixed results..

Just trying to figure it out before I go through the trouble of clearing it all...

My Nigerians and pygmy goats eat Japanese honeysuckle without issue.

Thanks so much!!
I am glad to hear from first hand experience! Like I said everything online is a huge contradiction from the previous website I read.

This makes me excited...we've got plenty of it!!!


Thanks again!

My goats LOVE honeysuckle so much and it never affects them!

I should ad we have 15 acres and just half a dozen goats right now so they just graze everything and never focus on one plant. They have definitely eaten it but not super large quantities.

Duly noted! I appreciate that!
They will never be in a spot where there aren't plenty of other options, but i will do my best to pay attention to their intake when they are around it.

Thank you for this! I at least have peace of mind having it on the property....

I was thinking I'd have to manually clear it all ...
I'll take a little help from the boys!

Going to create a separate pen for my buck tonight. He will still be near the girls but will have a fence between them now. This ought to allow me to control breeding. Poor boy is going to be very unhappy and confused. Once I have him penned up, I'll bring Annie and her 2 kids to the herd for their official introduction.

Or you could get him a ‘buck apron’ it cuts fence costs and works well!

Oh that's so helpful! I'm going to have to separate my buck, Caspien, from the girls soon but this may be even better! Where can I buy it from?

Oh btw, anyone who has goats or any other herd animals can join BackYard Herds, the counterpart of BYC. It's a nice, not as large community as BYC but it's still a great place! If you look for me I have the same username.
