Hello. I have two pygmy bucks(wethers now) that will be 8 weeks tomorrow. I've had them since 2weeks since mama abandoned, and these are our only goats. They are still eating two bottles a day, 20 oz. each. They are eating some grain and foraging a lot on tree branches, etc. When and how do...

I personally bought two bottle baby pygmies at less than 2weeks of age that were being bottle fed. Their mama nursed them one day and that was it, so our feed store owner was feeding them and told us since they were already being bottle fed it's a great way to bond w/them. Which is for sure...

I have two pygmy baby boys, they are 4weeks old. Everything I am reading is saying to wait to band them...but not sure how long to wait? Secondly, called TSC to see if they had the banding equipment, and they said they had one for cows. Will this work, or do I need to look for a different one...

Just got a couple pygmy bottle baby boys that are going to be wethered. I'm interested in getting a female in the future, now that I am LOVING being a goat owner. Anyway, w/limited space was looking at NigDwarf for a little milking, then discovered MINI NUBIANS and I am in love w/how they...

Yep, I've been putting some diaper cream on it as a barrier. Hopefully it will improve by the morning.

Hey guys, I am so new to goats and we have two bottle fed 2 1/2 week old pygmy bucks. We've only had them a week. Both are playing and acting great. Problem one has started having a reddish spot on the flesh under the tail, by the anus. This morning went to feed them and he has some poo on...

Okay, so we have been soley bottle feeding the boys w/occasional grazing time outside. On the bag it says to only feed them twice a day at 2weeks old. I have started slowing them down to 3-feedings a day at about 8-9oz. We also put some sweet feed out the other day, but that have little to no...

Sounds fine to me! We will get them band. DH was the one interested in keeping one intact, but I told him it's not a good idea. So, we decided when we get a female of breeding age we may have her visit the farm we got her from to be bred, if it's ok w/ the man we got her from. Thanks for...

if you leave them intact? We are new to goats and are mothering two orphaned 2 week old bucking pygmy goats. They are such a treat and we were originally going to get both of them "banned" or fixed. But we are enjoying them so much and wondering if we were to keep one in tact for future...

Thanks Everyone!! We are sooo in love w/these little guys! They just turned 2weeks yesterday and are following me everywhere when I come in their pen, wanting me to cuddle and nuzzle them. Very cool to have these little guys. We officially named them too. The one that is all white w/just...
