[F] I just bought a doe and her two kids. I can sometimes put the mom but I can not even get near her to kids or her sometimes. What should I do?:)

Aren't goats awesome? My friends call me the goat whisperer so, I am going to tell you what "should" work.

Get a baggie full of Cheerios and chair. Put aside a half an hour EVERYDAY to go out and sit among the goats. Start by tossing the Cheerios out to the Mom. As she gets more comfortable with you, hold out your hand with Cheerios in it.

Another good thing to do is say a specific word when she eats the Cheerios. I always say "Mama" but, you can say "Treat" or anything you want. As time goes by, she will be waiting for you to bring her a treat or she will come when you say the word.

Of course, the strict rule with goats is that they will always do exactly the opposite of what you want them to do. Wink wink! So, just be patient. Once Mama falls in love with you, babies will too!

Best wishes and enjoy them! I look forward to hearing how this works for you!

I have adopted a large male goat ,and his baby.They are still somewhat on the wild side,but they are coming around slowly.I can let them out of their cage,and they will go back in when I tell them.The male is an afghan and needs shaving,so I hope he learns to like me.
