We just got a couple of bucklings, an alpine cross and a Nubian cross. We've had them just over a week. When we feed them their hay, they dive right in and eat and eat and eat and eat. We've gotten kids before, but I don't remember ANY of them eating this much, or being so focused on their hay. I can even pet the flighty one. I'm concerned they might have worms, but they're only 2 and 3 1/2 months old so I don't know if I can worm them. Is it normal for bucklings to be gorging on their hay? They eat up to 2 books of a small square bale a day, whereas our does eat a little less than that with the four of them. I'm concerned. Please help.
