Got these adorable little Pygmy girls today ( I had baby goat fever lol ) they are 7 & 8 wks old. Do they look like PB Pygmies? Is this old enough to be weaned or should I try to bottle feed?

CUTIES! I love the way you did yor pen. We kept one in the house a few weeks when the weather was so nasty. I had hay and shavings everywhere. I may steal your idea.

Very very cute! Were they bottle feeding before? 7 weeks is young to be weaned so I would be feeding them still (but if they have not been on the bottle, they probably won't be all about taking it). Not sure on purebred----are they registered as purebred?

I love the names BonBeano1 chose and I too may be stealing the indoor gaotie pen idea. As of right now I have a 3 wk old pygmy indoors. Started out using newspaper in the bottom of cage but as she got older I learned that she loved to eat it. So I switched to puppy pads. Now she enjoys pawing and pawing until it is a mess!!

Congrats, their adorable! The front one is definitely mixed, & the back one id need to see better pics of. Her markings look pygmyish though. Normal weaning is 8-12 weeks so their a bit young. If theyll take it you could give them a bottle for another month, but thats your call.
