What kinds of treats do goats like?

[peachick]

mine love apples. I got to a local fruit and veggie farm and by their #2 grade apples (bruised or old). and anything on the 50 cent rack with bruised and over ripe produce.

As for names... the only goat that knows his name is Buckley, and i think thats because he was my first and only goat for a while .... and he still thinks everything is all about him.

Mine love carrots, apples, leaves/branches from my peach and plum trees- that's about all I've tried so far (only had them a week!). I bought a big bag of the apple horse treats, because that's what the breeder I bought them from used as treats for all her goats, but only Dixie (my doe) likes them- Dallas (my wether) won't touch them. Oh well, my neighbors have horses, so I'll share.

Mine love the animal cookies. I go to Sam's and buy the big thing of them. Some of them like apples, but I have to sit and peel the skin off or they won't eat them. Picky little things. I have a couplf of bottle babies that do come or follow me around just by their name. The one is a buck, and he won't come by his name, but boy. I walk out of the house and yell here boy and he runs to the fence.

The Nubians we had when I was a kid would do ANYTHING for a raisin. They'd even stand on their hind legs atop a five-gallon bucket!

My goats like peanuts in shell, slices of lemon, almonds. I tried marshmallows, no luck.
They do recognize their names especially when corrections are given. Yep, they are very greedy though. Not all of them but
the ones that are greedy make it bad for the others.

Mine LOVE apple slices. Yes, I stand out there and slice up a couple of apples for them every day or two.

I have 7 goats total. I've had 6 of them for around 5 months and the other one about 5 weeks. They all know there names. My big exotic pygmy-Patches-has a cigarette and coffee with me every morning. The others like apples, carrots, oatmeal pies for a snack/treat. My baby is just starting to eat leaves, grain good so i haven't done too many treats with her yet. EVERY ONE of them is spoiled but i wouldn't have it any other way!!

No-i should've said it differently. He eats a cigarette (no filter) every morning with me. And yes-he "drinks/laps" his coffee out of his coffee mug every morning. I will get my husband to get pics and post them on here soon.

You know, I have heard that tobacco is a natural dewormer, does that goat have any worms?
