I have two miniature goats and they have become extremely bratty since we got our lambs. Is this a jealousy thing or what? They bite my fingers and toes and chew on my clothing whenever I'm close enough.
Also - due to my lambs escaping (literally everyday) from their pen, they are now housed with my goats and this has proven to fuel the fire. My goats are smaller but still fiesty and super mean around food and treats and often just in general. The lambs usually walk away and mind their own in another corner but I worry about them cause they aren't sure how to stick up for themselves yet. Will this stop if I just leave them be - will they work it out? How do I even discipline a goat when they are being little ****s..? It's ideal for us to have them in the same area right now (and over winter) so any advice would be much appreciated.
