New baby goat! What do you think? Help with a name too!

[ksalvagno]

All my female dogs are flower names. I have Dahlia, Violet, Jasmine and Lily.

How about Hyacinth?

How about Trixie.

She is a cutie! And she' getting really friendly. I hope I can make her a lap goat, but I can only keep her on my lap as long as I'm pumping her full of animal crackers!

Suzie Q How much does she weigh?

 

[warthog]

She is so wonderful.

My first thought was also SOCKS.

Human name: Felicity I think it is such a pretty name, just like her.

Flower Name: Foxglove or Petunia.

Aaaw, she is CUTE! She looks just like my youngest son's pygmy wether, Gambit.

We lost his first pygmy goat, BlackJack to Urinary Calculi when he was 7 months old, and then needed a new herdmate for my oldest son's pygmy, HyJinx (Boy, does that name ever fit?!). The first replacement we got, named Buckwheat, never seemed well and died after only two weeks. (Possibly from Coccidiosis.) We then got a free replacement from the same breeder, and named him Gambit (a fitting name for taking yet another chance with a new goat). He's been with us for over two years now, so I guess the risk paid off.

Since she's caramel-colored, what about naming her Honey or Amber?

She is probably six or seven pounds by now and growing like a weed! She really thinks she's a big girl too. Doesn't seem to notice that she's smaller than the others. She comes running to us now and stands on her hind feet for treats!

She must be really young? My Pygmys are 6-7lbs at 2-3 weeks.

I could be wrong. She's 8 weeks, but she was a little smaller than the rest. I have a dog that used to be 7 pounds (I'd bet she's heavier than that now!) I estimate the dog and the goat are about the same weight, maybe the goat weights more. I'll have to check with a bathroom scale. But she is small.

The eight week old that we lost to coccidiosis came to us at only 4.9 pounds (the vet confirmed that one) and she was 8 weeks. Very tiny! It was like she had never grown since birth.
