Goats hate the rain, so need a clean, secure shelter to keep them warm and dry. A 1.5 x 1.5m shelter is plenty of room for two goats. Babies need to be locked in their shelter at night until they are 6 months old to protect them from foxes, so shelters need a door and room for food and water.
Miniature goats require a secure paddock which is free from rubbish and poisonous plants. We recommend chicken mesh, equimesh, dog mesh or similar for fencing as kids are able to slip through most livestock fencing. Fencing needs to be at least 110cm tall, with mesh up to 90cm.
We recommend feeding your goat kids oaten hay ad lib. up to one years of age as they grow rapidly during this time. After this, for two goats we recommend feeding about 1-1.5 biscuits of good quality oaten hay or pasture hay each day depending on your pasture availability
It is very important for goats to have goat friends! Goats are herd animals, their good in pairs or more. If you have just 1 goat try to get a companion.
