DO NOT FEED PYGMIE GOATS OTHER THAN GRASS AND HAY STUFF. We learned the hard way when our pygmy Dave died. He got bladder crystals and stones. The farmer we bought him from was feeding him the sweet feed too. He was just threee 3months old. Annie, same age was ok so far. I have gone to...
I need to get pics online. Our pygmies are so cute and sweet. still getting used to humans though. Annie is very talkative. Dave is the quiet one. So far we have had to get them close with sweet feed. They are alot of fun, leave lots of nannie berries so where ever they live must be grassy...
We increased the size of the area they play and live. Oh so funny seeing them actually frolick and lightly buck eachother. Oh boy, Annie was acting like she was dominating Dave. we were laughing so hard at those two. She comes up to food, he finally sniffed my hand. He stands up and his...
We are still not having much luck bonding with our pygmies. annie and dave. Annie is less hesitant to get yummies from our hands but Dave makes her move away. Any ideas?
Holy moly. We had this feed just as a teaser. The farm we got the goats from had medicated-YUCK, feed. I did see the normal pellet food at tractor supply. I would like to feed them organic pellets like our chickens eat. I do think that the simple breeder we got them from is not the sharpest...
To add to the scary goats. Our two pygmies are slowly letting us come close. Our girl annie has even let us pet and pick her up. Sweet feed is a wonderful thing. Our boy dave is not so sure of us but he does come closer. We have low seats and take time every day to sit and let it happen...
Our boxer likes to play chase with our pygmies. dave is not to impressed and bucks her. Both goats I know have lost some weight since we got them. There bellies are not a big, must be from mostly grass instead of that molasses stuff. Finally Annie lets us pet her and pick her up. Dave, oh...
Yup. the breeder that we got them from is kind of new at it. They did not have pasture freedom like we have at our house. I am sure they have some PTSD issues. Ugh.
Our goats look in the direction of their names as though the tone makes them look. Annie is becoming social though when she starts to come over dave makes her turn away. I guess it stems from when he did have human interaction it was to get banded. Poor baby. They are so cute. Both black...
We just got dave and annabell, 2 very cute pygmy goats. born in april, they were not human hand reared very well. Oh so scared and very slow process getting them to not run when we come into their pen area. I think Dave getting banded just prior to use picking him up made him very scittish...
