Breeders tend to be very hush hush about cost. If you have two you will need about a cup a day of grain for each. You can feed 1/2c twice a day. They also need alfalfa hay unless you live somewhere they can pasture and forage. Then grass hay is enough. The bag of grain Goat chow is a common brand and cost $20 but with two goats it will be at least a month before you go through it. The bails of alfalfa cost $7-$9 again with two goats you will only need about two bails a month. Also I give free loose minerals the bag cost $15 but this could last 3 or more months. Baking soda in a dish will aid in digestion.

Just as with any baby, they should be fed in small amounts and several times per day. The stomach of a baby Nigerian goat is so small that it cannot handle much more than 4-6 ounces at a given time, and should be fed every 4-6 hours as well.

They eat leaves, hay, goat mix (Pygmy variety) and leftover veggies. Please consult your vet for further information

It depends on the quality and nutritive value of the hay and the size of the animal - roughly up to 2% of its live body weight.
