Hold them as much as possible, when putting out food, go in and pet them, if they squirm away your not holding them enough. Sit in their pen as much as you can stand it at this age. When they get older you won't need to do this since they will already be used to you. This is the critical age where they figure out if they are part of your heard or you are just an outsider who feeds them and goes away. This is especially serious when your child want to touch them and they feel the little one is an outsider and they need to 'protect' themselves. The first time they try to even playfully butt you, be very very stern and say NO point with your finger and maybe even touch their nose saying NO. Horns and human children are the worst thing ever. Its too late to disbud them but you need to be careful to train your child as much as these goats. I have all horned goats, my pygmy is the worst to use them on outsiders, dogs, or even a little bush he finds annoying. His horns are his way of communicating. Not with me or hubby but with strangers, family members, outside dogs etc. Please educate yourself on the dangers of horns and buy Carolyn Eddy's Practical Goatpacking book. I know you won't be goatpacking but you can learn so much of how to train your goat, how many words they can learn and the discipline it takes to create a well loved pet. You can train goats to do much more then they will show you lol

Hey there, it's me again. I came home from work this morning, which gives me a few unexpected hours to myself. And that's a good thing. Sooo, let me tell you all what Jen sent me in the way of seeds... large yellow columbine allium "aflutanese" iberis "tahoe" bombast poppy yarrow "saucy seduction" columbine "clemantine rose" jacob's ladder flower-of-an-hour (never heard of this one, did I get that right?) Jen, those columbines will look great in the garden! I had a large dark purple volunteer columbine in it this year, and I'm hoping it reseeded itself. I haven't had any for a couple of years, and really do like how they look! You sent the perfect yarrow. I'm getting rid of the yellow yarrow in my yard and have been wanting some of the purple/rose colored yarrow, cool! As for the others, I'm looking forward to being surprised by them next year. Thank You Very Much! Oh, almost forgot! To beat the heat, Jen likes ice slushies and fruit smoothies! Have a good weekend everyone! Dan

I had 2 boys and a girl, but I would think two females would get along fine. Make sure you get her fixed NOW!! I didn't know that my girl needed to be fixed when young, and wasn't able to get her fixed later. It's a very complicated operation for a pig, and when they get older and fatter, it's too difficult. If you don't get her fixed, she'll go into heat about every 3 weeks and it's awful. Complete personality change. They become aggressive and hump everything that moves. They will literally not leave you alone and chase you. They're small pigs compared to farm pigs, but still average at about 100 lbs, so having a 100 lb pig chasing you, attacking you and humping you constantly for several days every 3 wks is no fun. The boys have to be fixed. They are not fit to be pets if they aren't. They smell constantly. They're much more aggressive. Their tusks grow faster. And they hump nonstop. They're in a constant state. Now, I know what you're going to say - - that most males are - - but I mean CONSTANTLY. :) You have to be careful not to overfeed them bc it puts too much stress on their little legs and they become "fat blind" and generally unhealthy. Harleybabe was about 110, Rudy about 85, and Pudge was the big boy at 150, but that is a healthy weight for his frame. (He's still a young'n in pic above) Once she begins to trust you more, if you scratch her, she'll be your best friend for life!! They LOVE to be scratched. I buy those rubber handheld things with nubbies on them that are used for horse grooming and scratch the pigs with those. They stand real still, their mohawk goes up, and suddenly, BAM, they flop to the ground in a state of bliss, waiting for a belly rub. It's hilarious. Providing browse? I'm not sure. Did you see that on 9 sites? Only thing I can think of is browsing room. Sadly, a lot of people would get potbellies as pets, and try to keep them - alone - in small spaces. They need room to run around outside and graze and preferably a herd mate. You'll read lots of stories of people who became disillusioned in their pigs bc 1) they got big when backyard breeders dishonestly marketed them as mini pigs that would stay small (no such thing) 2) they became aggressive from being in confined, unnatural for them, small quarters 3) owners did not take the time to learn about their needs as pigs bc they're completely different from cats or dogs. I've spent a lot of time reading about them; I still do. One more thing -- as soon as she's letting you close, make sure you start trimming her hooves now while she's young, so she's used to it and will let you continue to do it. Really important. If their hooves aren't trimmed properly, they grow sideways and the poor pigs can become lame as a result. I'm attached another link for you. It's a Yahoo Group that you should join. A little on the chatty side, but still very informative. Well, GW won't let me link it, but you can find it in Yahoo Groups - "Pig Info and Chat" Kisses to Porkahontas, Betsy

LOL those are all cute names. I thought about something wacky like George and Harry but then I decided I better let my friends help me. I also thought about boots or bootsy. Well I have until sunday to decide so I am going to watch this thread and also rack me and my friends brains. I will let you guys know what I decide on Sunday. Keep the suggestions coming!
AND THANK YOU

You could always wait a few days and let them earn their own name. That's what we did after we picked up a whole litter of beagle puppies one time. Over time, each one got a name relating to their personality.

Digger, Mean Un, Buddy, Shy, Precious, Goldie, Buster and Screech

I'm so glad your getting some goats that are people friendly! They are nice looking little fellows!
Around here, the animals tend to name themselves. Or you might want to think of a theme...in case you end up having a whole herd. Like names of spices...cinnamon, sage...ect. Or flowers...or mythical gods...trees....you get the idea.
I have sold many of my goats off due to feed prices, but I started naming my does after Desperate Housewives. I had a Gabby and DeeDee and the names really suited the personalities of the actresses....lol.

msmito I was going to actually get them before I finalized the name but something I was nver good at is coming up with names. I did not even name my children. and later when they were about 3 I figured out the perfect names for them but it was too late. LOL!!!

Heck I do not have names for my three chickens yet.

backlanelady I like your thinking. I was considering singers and I forgot I have yet to name the chickens so I can do male singers for the 2 boys and female for the 3 girls...
and since my farm is called Country Dreams I can have country singer names... hmmm
I feel an idea brewing

Singers will work!
I was a teen in the 70's and have always loved Alice Cooper...lol...so my two oldest milking gals are named Alice and Ethel...after his song Cold Ethel. I suppose I should have named a buck Alice instead of a doe...oh well...just don't tell my Gal Alice that she is named after a guy...lol.
Speaking of which...I think Cold Ethel is getting ready to have some babies this week. Now, I will need names...lol.

Ethel made me think about how I love lucy. I can name the boys Ricky and Fred and the girls Ethel, Lucy and ???

LOL Beeliz, that's funny!

Well the ideas here gave me the inspiration to name my chickens. I have 3 and named them Lucy, Ethel and Mrs McGillicuty (Lucy's mother). Mrs McGillicuty is larger than the other ones and she is a little antisocial. My grandsons came over today and I always assign an animal to a kid. Well the 3 year old picked Ethel as his chicken and by the end of the day she should know her name. all day long all I could here was "I want Ethel" Then the 6 year old kept telling me he loved Lucy. How fitting.

I pick up the boys (goats) tomorrow. The boys will be assigned to my grand daughters Grace and Armoni. I could name the boys Georgio and Will or Evan (Georgio Armani and Will & Grace or Grace Evans).

I also like Ben and Jerry

Fred and Barney.

Bootsy and Bruiser.

I forgot I have to leave room for another boy because I am on the waiting list for a Fainting Goat who will be coming later.

I got the goats today and those photos are when they were much younger. the one on the top has the same coloring but he looks so small and graceful almost like a female. So none of those rough boy names will fit him.

The other is much darker than the photo with dark body markings. His coloring is called chamois and he looks very much like the coloring on a Oberhasli if you know what they look like. I would take a photo but I took pictures with a regular camera, since my digital wants to act up on me.

The darker one is a cry baby. He is fine when I am out there with him but when I leave him he cries like crazy. The guy said they were being weaned and I might want to give them a bottle once in a while.

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ...well I wanted social goats so I guess I got them now. LOL

so now I am back to the names. Because they are screamers I am now leaning towards rock stars.

I am going to do a search for rock stars that use a lot of makeup for the second one. still stumped on the first. Only ones I can think of are

Twisted Sister and kiss LOL
and Beeliz yours may work too (Alex and Eddie) but not everyone will know who they are and might not get it.

why oh why is it so hard to pick out a name??

I like the Bill and Lee idea!
Let's see...rock stars with loud pipes....
Axel Rose (Guns N Roses)
Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) Sebastian has an incredible voice! IMHO
I almost like it better when people don't "get" my animals names. It's like a personal joke between me and the critters....lol.
Cold Ethel hasn't had her babies yet. A good friend is on barn watch with a mare and me with my goat. I'll bet they both deliver just fine alone when we doze off. Lol

you know after I wrote that last post I looked over all the names again and decided that I liked Bill and Lee as well. That is kind of funny! I guess Lee will be the delecate one.
Thanks Marlin! By George I think I got it.

So I have
Bill and Lee (goats)
Ethel, Lucy and Mrs McGillicuty (hens)
I am getting a Fainter Goat too so I might call him Lazy. LOL

I changed names. LOL. Bill and Lee was too hard to say for some reason. Or I should say it was awkward so I named them Fred and Ricky. since I have Lucy. Ethel and Mrs McGillicuty that made it all complete.

Just to tie up a loose end on this fascinating thread, the two Muppet gentlemen were Stadtler and Waldorf, named after two NYC hotels.

Send my best to Ricky and Fred. By chance, I just heard a radio piece because today is the 100th anniversary of Lucille Ball's birthday, so I'm sure those names are right.
