    SUPER weak 4 month old Nigerian Dwarf...HELP!

    I have a little buckling who has had loose pretty liquidy poop for about a week now. I was attributing it to DH feeding him grain one evening rather than his usual ration of alfalfa pellets since he has never had grain before.

    4 month old buckling with thick green liquidy poo? :(

    I am pretty sure that is food related. DH didn't know better and fed 2 of our boys grain (which he has never eaten) rather than the usual alfalfa pellets for their dinner. On of the bucklings is fine, but the other has had diarrhea for 48 hours now. I have kept re-sorb in his water with...

    Hi! I recently brought home a 4 week old kid. He was previously being dam raised and is just not quite getting the hint about the bottle! He absolutely will NOT take it on his own. We have tried regular baby bottle nipples (with larger holes - this is what our other buckling prefers)...

    The Consequences of Goat Porn

    This is a safe space. I can admit it here. I'm an addict. This site...it enables my addiction. The pictures...the stories...the little babies bouncing around! It is all fodder for my problem. All this 'goat porn' has caused this to happen: Isn't he cute?! Why yes, yes he is. Um...

    I got an updated photo of my baby! :)

    He comes home in 6 weeks! Wonderful Lora at Prairie Wood snagged a pic of him in the snow and WOW! He is filling out nicely for only being a couple of weeks old. So different than his baby picture. (My avatar pic!) :D He is in the center of the picture looking quite annoyed with the...

    Where to get a good microchipping kit?

    Hi! I am looking into getting a microchip reader and supplies rather than tattooing. Does anyone have a particular brand they like or recommend? Or does everyone tattoo? :P
