What are the ages and sizes of the goats? I'm guessing they are probably some type of mixes. But they are adorable! Congratulations! :D

I haven't been able to get close enough to check on the teeth - I saw a thread on here about telling their age from their teeth - but Bonnie seems to have quite a few in the front frmo what I could tell. I figured some sort of pygmy for Clyde, they are just stinkin cute! Ate some hay from my hands yesterday, making progress.................

:love Very sweet!! Love the names!!!!

Im sorry I dont know much about differant breeds...Just my Toggies...I know about them..and their definately not Toggenbergs!!!

1 breed ruled out!! :lol:

Try raisins too...they love them and it works well when getting to know eachother. Also when they are eating..try petting them...they just need time to get use of you...Once you gained their trust..they will be fine..just take time like anything else worth having!!!! :D

The look like either Nigerian Dwarves or Pygmy. Leaning more on the pigmy side for the black one.. :p

The black one looks like a Pygmy in coloration and size. I don't know if Pygmies come in white, but I'd say Pygmy, Nigerian, or Pygmy/Nigerian mix maybe on the white.

I have nigerians and i am thinking they are pygmys. Most people disbud nigerians but leave the horns on a pygmy which may be another clue.

The face on Bonnie reminds me of an ALpine though. Maybe she is Alpine/Pygmy mix. Her fur looks too fuzzy for an ALP though.
