at lizard and chicks i can see what you mean! thankfully and unfortunatly i have no beautiful floring plants other then my gardens which are blocked off anyways for fear of free ranging chickens! those are beautiful by the way!
lol my goat does the opposite hes ok as long as he can see me but if i lock him in his pen and walk away OH MAN he starts crying and he keeps going for like 20 minutes. usually i ket him graze my yard all day but when 8:30 comes around time for bed and he doesnt
like his bed time lol
i say ignore the little butt lol he is probably so used to being with his parent who is now you! that he isnt caring about the goat friend so much. im by no means an expert im new to goats only have my one little bottle baby about a month now... please share if you find something that works for you!
@Potagergirl so glad deliah is doing better! Hope all continues well with her! Im also new with having goats ive had litte Napoleon about 2 weeks now. He is a nigerian dwarf bottle baby and we had up and downs with his bowels the first week so i know the stress of not knowing but then learning...

Lemon and eucalyptus is a natural bug repellent i use it on my kids works miracles!i wouldnt see a problem with using it because you can eat it and it wont hurt you...wont taste good but wont hurt lol! Not sure if they will sell it where you are i can never find it locally but try health store...
I can see your point ^ my little Napoleon doesnt seem to realize the girl dogs he runs around with dont have hooves maybe he is still too young? But anyways his brother will be joining is in a month for his company just waiting for him to be weaned.
Have you had any problems with having only one goat? I just got a nigerian dwarf hes about a month old and hes a bottle baby im going to be getting his brother once he is weaned but everyone keeps telling me how horrible i am for only having one goat
Ok is it normal for a 4 week old not to drink water on his own yet? That was my main concern i havent yet seen him drink water just his bottles! I have plenty of water spots buckets dog bowls even a mini kid pool all that i fill daily with fresh water but havent seen him go near yet.
