    Rebecca. :))))
    Don't get me wrong I love dogs in fact I have a dog rescue
    And I fight for there lives everyday across the USA

    Before there killed in there so called shelters
  • Hi and welcome to the group! Goats are so wonderful. I can't help but think they are soooooo much better than dogs.
  • Fan-tas-tic. !!!!!!!!!!

    Thank you soooooo much!!!!
  • Wethers (that's a "fixed" boy goat, just in case you didn't know.) get along just fine! Unless you're breeding, there's no reason to keep bucks, so I recommend they both be fixed, but you can definitely keep two boys together. :) Especially if they are both wethered. 

  • Here is a question for you Rachel
    I think I've found a male friend for him
    But !! Should it be female??
    Harley is getting fixed in 2 months or less
  • Rachel
    Lol well I got sucked in big time!!!!
    Right now he is snuggled up with my lab
    Cute as can be :)))
  • That's how they suck you in... being all cute when they are little. 

  • Lol lol lol
    Understood!!
    He does spend. Lot of the day outside
    He just sleeps in his crate at night
    And he soooooo far is very good at that
    I have a golden retriever boy that just loves him in fact Harley just finished
    Climbing all over him lol lol
  • Oh, he's got you fooled! LOL! They do seem better than dogs when they're little, but then ...! We evicted one kid at only about three days of age because he jumped on top of the CD player and was tap dancing on it, and it broke. I had a house lamb once that chewed up the electrical cord for my computer. Thankfully she wasn't electrocuted. I've had goats try to eat the ribbons at goat shows, and I have no idea what they're made of, but I'm sure they are not good for them. Your little guy probably will start eating paper at some point. Most do because paper is made from wood pulp, and goats are browsers, so they love trees and bushes. And as they get older, they really do need to spend a huge part of their day eating, so unless you want a hay feeder in your house, you'll probably decide it's time for him to move out.

  • Deborah::
    Geez I haven't had that paper issue yet
    Only issue with him so far as when I feed the dogs he runs to go grab
    A piece of dog food
    And I guess that's not good for him so I put him in his crate till the dogs are done
    I would love to make him a house goat
    The truth is he is better acting then the dogs... :))))
