Update on jack. He is such a fun goat. The only problem with him now is that he has some mean moments with poor little dandy. He hurts him with his horns. So I need to find a way to stop that. I read that you can band the horns and they'll fall off. Is that true? I don't know what to do.
So I've been looking around on ways to get him to stop screaming. Every time he's alone he screams for ever. I can't have him screaming like that anymore. So I was looking around and people say that trying a bark collar might help. My dog has one so I thought maybe I'd try it. I wanted to see...
What do you all give your goats for treats? Jack loves banana and pea pods. Are banana chips and other veggies ok as long as I only feed them as treats?
New update. Jack is a little pain in the but now. He's getting into everything and jumping everywhere. He's 100% goat now. And....... He has a baby brother now. A Nigerian dwarf kid named dandy. Dandy is 4 days old and tiny. Jack isn't too happy with him just yet. But he'll get there.
I bought him Timothy hay also. So I'm giving him a mixture of that and alfalfa. But jack is doing great. He's opened up sooo much. He's still a crazy cuddler. He's still using the papers to pee. He's starting to climb things. He's drinking at least 10oz of milk. I leave his bottle on the edge of...
He's great at peeing where he should. The first day he peed outside but it went to below freezing so he had to stay inside. So he started peeing on the papers. He'll literally walk from anywhere in the house to his papers to pee. It's a little harder to control where he poops but he try's to...
I dusted him with diatomeseus earth an hour ago. So I'm going to try that and see how it goes. If it doesn't work I'll try the kitten powder. Right now he loves alfalfa. He's eating some grain but he's stopped eating off the bottle. He's more playful though. I've been giving him some kid paste...
He isn't anemic. I checked his eyelids and his gums and both are pink. We have three dogs and they have tried to play with him and he just isn't interested. He will jump and try to head butt them.
He is getting a buddy in a couple months. We're getting one from someone when her goat has them. So far he's being great. He's eaten about 11oz as of now. So he's getting back on track. He seems to be normal right now other then just wanting to sit and sleep on me. He's taking his bottle on his...
Turns out he has biting lice. Would diatomeseus earth work for that? And can dogs and people get the biting lice? Ive read people saying yes and no. What do you guys think?
He is doing a lot better since my first post. That's what makes me iffy on taking him to a vet. He's going to the bathroom like he should. He's eats a little bit of hay. Tiny bit of grain. He's moving around a lot more. He's jumping up and down off the couch now. He's only eating about 8-9 oz of...
