HI-
Looking to get set-up for 2 goats and like the idea of using a dogloo. Would 2 goats fit in one, and if so which size would be best.
Thanks-

Morning All,
I am not sure how to use this forum but I'll just jump in. I joined a while ago after I acquired a small herd of five. They include a buck, a wether, a pregnant doe, a milker and her buckling. The pregnant doe has quickly won my heart as she is qu

One of my does was disbudded a week ago. The vet put cotton in the 'holes' and told me to take them out after a few days - we did that yesterday and there was some fresh bleeding. I gave her a shot of penicillin and also slathered polysporin on it.
