im semi new to baby pygmy goats.. but i work on a farm with dairy cattle and all the calfs are bottled and we wean them by slowly and steady lowering the amount of milk we give them. that's basicly what im doing with my baby pygmy that i was lucky to get but i feed her bottles daily due to the fact her mom wont let her nurse and thus she went dry but now im starting to wean her by as i said above lowering the amount of milk she receives a day i use little 9 ounce baby bottles from the local Walmart and i started with 1 bottle a day for about a week and as she grew i kept giving more and more up to 3 bottles a day about 5 times a day now that shes a month old and is starting to pick at the grass, hay and goat pellets (from tractor supply), plus she also picks at some corn silage (from the farm i work at) which most dairy farms would have and would probaly sell to you at a low cost to you for example i pay $10.00 for 100lbs which is a lot cheaper then u would pay for feed a local feed store. now back to weaning she picks at all the feed listed above so i went back to 2 bottles a day about 4 times a day. now when shes about 6 weeks old ill go to about 2bottles 3 times a day and so on.. unless she seems to b haveing problems then ill give her more then 2 bottles.. i hope that helps you some like i said im fairly new to baby goats i wasnt really planning on haveing them but i guess that's what happens when i buy a buck and does. haha
Try feeding only by hand. Goats love food. So if you only offer it from your hand they will take it and associate you with their food supply.
You keep it fat to keep it warm
It may be possible to keep pygmy goats within the city limits. You will need to speak to your local city to find out the ordinances of keeping goats.
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.
Pygmy goats may come into heat about once a month. Their heat cycle may last up to 48 hours, depending on the area that you live in.
They can be as tall as 40' at the most
