New Baby Goats

[Laurie B.]

Hi there - we just recently bought two nigerian dwarf wethers that were born in late March. We have had them two weeks now and cannot get them to warm up to us. We are out there with them everyday, bring treats and try to entice them to eat out of our hands. They don't seem to be getting any better. I would love ideas on how we can get them to bond.

Thanks!

I bought a 3 yr old ND, and she didn't warm up to me easily. I tried treats, and it didn't work at first. I put her in my barn and grabbed her horns, and pet her, and now she just walks right up. Also, try raisins, goat LOVE raisins.

Be patient and keep doing what you are doing
Goats do love raisins
