(36,469 posts)He's a kid at heart, and he's loving it.
"He" has a milk sack with two teats......kinda think "he" is probably the mom of the twin kids there.
But they're all having a blast.

(65,490 posts)and then when it moves they all move their heads and eyes at the same time, in perfect sync, as though they are all one mind. Kinda spooky, but also very cool and very cute.
I also love their overwhelming need to get up on top of things. It reminds me of cats' need to get into any box, sink, drawer, or whatever that is open in their vicinity. I often watch videos of little kids jumping up on their siblings, their parents, their people--anything and everything.

(34,125 posts)a Pygmy and a Dwarf Nigerian. We are looking for 2 kids this spring. They are like dogs, we take walks around the farm. It is great. They are awesome.

(20,219 posts)I love all goats, but I sure wish I could have a little bitty dwarf goat, with floppy ears.
Soooooo cute!!

(65,490 posts)to have this debilitating disorder.
I much prefer the goats in tress that I posted above. They are healthy and competent--and very funny!
On edit: Can you imagine how troubling and stressful it must be for the fainting goats, especially since they don't lose consciousness when they seize up, but are paralyzed for 10-15 seconds at a time.
Can you imagine how your life would be constrained if every time you took delight in something (i.e., got excited about something), you seized up and remained paralyzed for 10-15 seconds at a time? (Wouldn't you start trying not to get excited about anything? But these poor animals probably cannot even make that choice.)
And then there are the humans who deliberately startle them all the time, for no reason other than to see them seize up.

(8,175 posts)They could easily slice a leg open as they slide down the edge of the metal. There are many wafer ways to enjoy the frolicking of goats. I would never let my goats play on a dangerous toy like this. Nor would I a child.
tblue37
(65,490 posts)Anyway, if it is dangerous, then I hope no one else uses such a toy for their goats, but I can't help enjoying the sight of these cute creatures playing, since no one gets hurt in the video--and I hope no one gets hurt afterward, either.
MuseRider
(34,125 posts)Surely there is a way to treat that edge so it would not hurt them.
I spent a good hour wondering about that since I think my two need another toy.
