Following on from the discussion about uncommon pets (see the other thread in this section), I thought I'd set up a thread dedicated to pygmy goats.

I think they're great little pets to have, so long as you know what you're doing. I used to have 2 of my own, but one unfortunately passed away in 2007.

I have a website about them if anyone's interested! It's at www.henryandjoey.co.uk

(The site is a non-profit venture and there are no adverts on it. I've also made sure it's OK with the mods to post a link to it here.)

So do you have pygmy goats or know someone who has any?

I was butted by one as a child

Solid little things aren't they!

they are adorable. i dont have any but my friend works in a big farm park and we get to go in with our girls and get 'behind the scenes' so to speak. we usually end up in the pygmy goat pen playing with the kids, they are so sweet was very tempted when she said they were for sale but hubby said no they have so much character

My sister has 2, she loves them. I can't get worked up about them. My cat is nearly as big, far furrier, smarter, and doesn't shit on the carpet. Oh, and he doesn't smell either. They are kinda cute, but not that nice.

nice website dude

i have 2 pygmy goats myself, they're delightful things

Cheers

Btw, you can now follow it on Facebook by clicking on the link on the front page (if you're inclined to do so ).

Have you had the goats since they were born?
