New to Nigerian Dwarfs

Posted by Claudia Huffman on March 30, 2016 at 12:02am in Introductions

So I have owned goat's mostly Boars but wanted something smaller not Pygmy goats.

I think these guys are just perfect I bought a doe that was already breed she had 5 kids all alive.

I didn't think she would have that many but I am looking for to many more.

Hoping to fin a good place for advice.

    Congratulations on your babies!  And welcome to the world of Nigerian Dwarf goats - it is a wonderful world.

    Others will comment on the quints and the best way to care for them to ensure they are getting what they need.  If you do not already have a digital scale to weigh them, I recommend you get one.  Weigh them twice a day, writing down the weights, so you can track them to be sure they are getting as much food as they need.  Feeding quints is not easy for most does; that is a lot of milk to produce.  You may have to supplement mom's milk.  Do you have access to other fresh goat milk?
