    bought 2 new babies lost 1 16 hours later.

    1 day old is so very young, there could have been many things wrong with her at birth that would not affect her until she was not getting nutrients or sustained inside mom after a day or so. The fact that she was quiet in comparison is a bit of a concern. Sounds like there is not much you...

    Pen and Pasture sizes for 2 dwarf goats??

    I live in the center of town with my goats and there is always traffic noise, children noise, people walking noise, in addition to me with the lawnmower, drill, etc. They never seem even slightly bothered by it. They actually seems quite interested in all the ruckus all the time and seem quite...

    Pen and Pasture sizes for 2 dwarf goats??

    I have a 80x20ft paddock area for my 4 nigerians, it is plenty of room and their mini donkey. I would plan on keeping them together at night in the "barn". They will NOT like to be separated!

    How to keep water from freezing...

    He is right. Hot watercan freeze faster, it makes sense that it shouldnt, but it actually does, see below. I have heard the too. I teach thermodynamics and I actually just taught this lecture this week- when the university was actually open for the one day this semester :) ! Although I don't...

    Digging Donkey. advice????

    Thanks Pat. I was hoping to hear from you! He broke his salt block in half a couple weeks back and it fell and got buried in the dirt. I meant to get another one but just havent yet. Maybe I should hold off.... I was just talking with the hubbie about the snowblower. He is up on a hill behind...

    Help sick rabbit --- UPDATE and its not good

    I have heard this, and I am sure many people have experience with this exact thing, probably horror stories :( but I have always done this-carefully of course- and never had any problems, even with in tact males. Only once did I have to neuter one for aggression, everyone else got along in a...
