pygmy goat sleeping standing up, is this normal?

He is a beauty! and I can definitely see the Pygmy in him. Is he a wether(fixed)? If not you'll want to keep him and the little lady separated. Don't want her having babies when she is to young. I wish you luck with her and hope all is well. Welcome to the world of goats!!! Have fun with them and enjoy the fantastic, crazy & hectic life they are about to bring you.. You will be in through it all.

They are little cuties. Sounds like you are really, really !!, New at this. There is a ton or information on this forum and lots of people willing to help out. So please don't be afraid to take full advantage of it. Good luck and we'll be here if you need.
P.S. Read up on how a goats digestion system works.. The more you know how goats work the more you'll understand them, the easier it will be to maintain them.

Yes, they are separated. They're only together under my supervision. I'm waiting on the vet Dr to call back to make an appointment to get him wether. Thank you so much everyone for your help & support!

I also have a 2 almost 3 months old myotonic goat too! Here's a picture of all 3 of them together.

You can buy a bander and O rings from tractor supply for about $20 and do it yourself. Of course you'll have more O rings than you'll need, but it'd be cheaper than the vet doing it. There are tons of videos and tutorials on YouTube and other web sites to learn how to do it. Very easy, almost like putting your hair in a ponytail.

So I just got done casterizing my buck yesterday & today I decided to put the doe & buck together. After a while the buck wanted to mate the doe!! Now, I don't know if it's just a habit or if the vet didn't properly casterize him, should I be worried? Or am I suppose to separate them for a while?

Generally most vets recommend still keeping them separate for a period of time. The semen can still be in the "pipeline" if you know what I mean. It may take a little while before the testosterone is out of their system, that makes them bucky.

I do not have wethers, just what I understand.
Maybe someone that has more experience with wethers will have better insight.
