That with who eats first was just me checking that information since I heard from other people who have farm animals that they often take care of them first thing in a day ^^ Advices for dogs are different since they are pack animals and who eats first is important to determine dominance, so yeah doggos last ^^"""" I think there is no debating with cats, for them it's sleep or eat time. So, do you get hungry in the meantime or it's okay for you to eat that late in a day? (Actually I dunno if that's late for Americans cause I think your schools and jobs start at 9am, while in Europe we are at school and jobs at 8am so to us 9am is kinda late for breakfast X3 do you know why Americans start they day one hour later? I don't think it's bad, just different) -------- That about hooves is interesting :o I know horses need pedicure, but if goats get it too does it mean all similar animals need that kind of care too? Also fun fact maybe X) in my language we have two different words for hooves-cause goat hoof is not as compact as horse hoof so our language just has two words, one for each type. And why humans need to take care of hooves since I don't think animals in wild do that kind of stuff? ---------- And how many kids you expect in total ^^ ? I think I heard of some goats having even up to 4 in one pregancy.

It was just a joke haha. Though I did have one girl wack me in the head once for picking up her baby. We have a lot of goats that don't appreciate us being near their babies but none of them get aggressive. Except that one, but it wasn't too bad.

Hurry, 1) I don't get hungry in the meantime because it just takes like 5 minutes to feed them, then I'm off to make myself breakfast. As for the day starting later in America, I think that's more of a new thing. Up until this year, my school has started at 8 am, but I think there's a new law (in California, at least) that states it can't start until 9 am 😢. I'm not really complaining, though, I get to sleep in! :D Edit: I guess it is pretty common for workplaces to open at 9, though, so I don't know. 2) I think all animals with hooves need some kind of regular care, but I'm not certain. I've only really known goats and horses :'). As for why people do it, it's because (for horses) we ask things of them they wouldn't be doing in the wild, such as walking on paved roads and stone paths, and carrying us on their backs. For goats, it's really just because thier hooves get worn down more in the wild than they do in their pens. In the wild, they'd be climbing mountains and rocks and playing around more than they do here. 3) As for how many kids, going based off size, I would expect 3-4 from Catalina just because she's so huge already. Destiny's fluffy, so it's hard to tell how large she is, but I'd say she'll have 2, and Stella's early on, so her size is hardly showing, if at all. The record from a doe is 7 kids. 1 + 3 kids is pretty normal, 2 kids is the most common, and 4-5 is uncommon Viviren said: Any baby monsters yet? :D Our first girl is due in march, we assembled our weaponry yesterday and made sure our affairs were in order incase mother goats decide we cannot touch le babies haha
Their previous owner has said that Catalina's a good mother, and she's already a brat, so it's possible she won't like us near the babies. (but she doesn't have the power to stop us >:D) I can't imagine Destiny being aggressive about us near her babies, and I've heard that Stella is a bad mother, so she will probably want us to take them away.
