Tiny Treats, Big Bleats!
Goats love treats, but it’s important to offer them safely and in moderation. Providing treats for your goat not only enriches their diet but provides a great bonding opportunity.
Healthy treats include fruits, vegetables, and small amounts of grains, which can be given alongside their regular hay and forage diet. Popular options are carrots, apples, pears, bananas, and leafy greens, which provide natural sweetness and extra nutrients.
Goats also enjoy browsing on herbs like parsley, mint, or dandelion greens. Treats should never replace their main diet. Foods that are toxic - such as avocado, rhubarb leaves, or nightshades (Tomatoes, Potatoes, eggplant) - must always be avoided.

Did You Know?
Life is better with friends!
Goats are very social animals!
They thrive in the company of other goats or livestock. They can form strong bonds with their humans, making them affectionate and engaging pets.
Alert! Alert!
Goats have an inbuilt alarm system.
These clever little animals use the sneeze sound as a warning to other goats in the herd. This alerts them all to danger.
Keep calm and stay dry!
Goats really dislike water.
Our little hairy bundles would rather jump over a puddle then step in it and they will head for shelter at the first sign of rain drop.
All Eyes on You!
Goats have rectangular pupils that give them a wide field vision, from 320 to 340 degrees.
