Goat Toys! How To Make Toys That Are Perfect For Your Goats!

[goatmommy]

Hi there... And thanks for replying to my last post...

A Trampoline! What a fun idea! However, I'm a little afraid of them hurting themselves. I remember when "I" was little and on a trampoline, how I would sometimes go flying off, out of control. I 'do' love the idea though. Got any more ideas? I'd love to hear them. And thank you, for replying.

Does anybody have any pics of play structures or platform areas they have built for their goats to climb on?

My goats love these areas we built for them. They're a bit bigger now, than when I took these photos, but they still love the ramps and high places. Now that it's warm at night (I live in Italy), they sleep on top of the larger one. Good luck to you! I'm interested in seeing what you come up with.

I love this post, it's giving me some great new ideas to try out for my crew.

Last summer I kept it simple as they were just tiny kids. I added a few stumps in their pen which they enjoyed. However, their favorite toy was the giant set of stairs I put in for them. They are roughly five feet tall and have a nice large platform on the top which ended up being their favorite spot to sun. I hope to turn the steps into a bridge for them to run on, but instead of the other side being another set of steps I hope to just make it a ramp so they have some different "elements" to climb and play on.

I just wanted to give an update on my little Pygmy that broke her leg. She has had a FULL recovery and is back to being sassy, and funny and a goat!

Sooooooo happy to hear that
