We have two female pygmys that are pregnant, and one buck. I want to separate them, but how big an enclosure will he need? I can move it around to stay on fresh grass, and will give him his own shelter. But how big is a good sized pen for a single buck?

My 2 Nigis does have a 20 by 26 ish place that works great. About that much room is good for 2 small goats. He needs a friend though! :welcome

Could I use one of the babies born soon, if he's castrated? A wether makes good company, right? But how young is too young to be together? The buck is about 9 months old.

To keep your buck he needs company so I would think of a space for two goats.... 32X32 would be a good size and 8 hog panels would make it easy
