Not really, they require to much acerage and feed for most people to keep as pets. <That is extremely NOT TRUE. A single goat or pair of goats can make great pets! They tend to be very curious and fun creatures. They love animal crackers. They do need proper nutrition, just like any other animal. They are also herd animals, so they need companionship to avoid depression. You can walk them, play with them, pet them, love them, and they may even climb into your lap! They will however eat your trees and shrubs down to nothing, and possibley jump on your car and scratch it all to heck. I showed goats, then had one as a pet for years, he ran with my dogs, and now I raise them, and I would definitely recommend them as a pet!! >
I always believed they made great pets. The only downside is they are known for finding ways to get out a lot so you definitley must have a good, sturdy cage.

Pygmy goats do not faint; myotonic or "fainting" goats do. They faint because of an inherited genetic disorder called myotonia. This causes the muscles to stiffen when the goat is frightened, and they remain tense for a few seconds.
They normally weig habout 40 pounds, but some fat goats can go up to 50. I know this due to personal experience, since I have two pygmy goats of my own.
