I bought some Little Tikes outdoor toys for toddlers. I also have a bench in their area and a plastic dog kennel.

You could put a goat buddy in there with him so he isn't alone.

How big are your goats? My husband gave ours a "jungle gym" that was simply a sheet of plywood laid across two sawhorses. The LOVED it. It worked great for our kids, but wouldn't be sturdy enough for our adult Nubians. I would think it would be fine for Pygmies and other little breeds, though.

As far as distance from the fence - I'd say anything they can climb on should go as far from the fence as possible. We put those sorts of things out in the middle of their yard.

Charlie needs a buddy not a toy. He is lonely and wants a friend. Is there anyone of your herd you could put with him to make him happy?
