Lone baby bootle fed goat

[Kjac014]

Hi all, I'm struggling with a lone little male goat. We rescued a few very sick babies and despite the best efforts of the vets he is the only survivor.

We are in our Australian winter now with temps getting below zero (at least no snow here) so he is now living in the laundry at night and following us around like one of the dogs during the day. I can't lick him in the barn on his own.

Today's issue is that we finally have rain (have Ben in drought for 18months-again) so now he will have t stay locked in laundry.

Any suggestions?? His only about 6 weeks and still bottle fed


Thanks

He needs a friend... another goat around the same size/age for companionship if you plan to keep him for awhile.

Other than that, I'm not sure what your exact problem is. Is he still sick? Is it the lack of being able to be outside?

He s dong a lot better, looks like he is out of the woods health wise which is great. Its been cold and the reason we are bringing him in the laundry is not only the cold but because he doesn't have a buddy. He seems happy to have his bottle at night and settle in his basket but when out in the shed he just cries and crys.

I am madly trying to find him a few buddies
