Meian, It may sound wrong, but one of my favorite things about owning cats is bothering them and seeing their reaction xD For example, one of my cats will be curled up adorably with one paw just slightly raised near their face, and the temptation will be too much. I'll quietly reach over and poke their paw, and the expression you get when they open their eyes is enough to melt the polar ice caps xD But anyways, if Destiny is anything like my cats, I may consider goats in the near future xD (Here is a picture of one of my kitties, Felix, before the paw poke xD) https://postimg.cc/KKxWqkQy |

I know what you mean, Winter. I love aggrivating my poor dog. XD Your cat looks so adorable, I just want to reach through the screen. If there's even a consideration of getting goats, I must say you should go for it. <3 |

What mineral do you feed? We have a hard time with minerals over here on the east side. We've resorted to an expensive Duramed concept aid mineral that we have to drive 3 hours to get q-q |

Man, I've been really busy lately. Sorry for the late replies, y'all XD Winterbreath said: Alright, if I ever get an offer, I'm darned well gonna take it ^^ In fact, I'm a sucker for any animal, so if someone offered me a pet frog I'd jump on it xD I'm the same way. If I had the money, I would probably have a whole managerie going. XD

We use a Purina mineral, which includes calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, selenium, vitamin E, and copper. I would say it's a great price, only about $24 dollars a bag, and that's adding the store's cost. I looked online, and they cost around $19. They're 25lbs, and they last a while. we've had the bag for about 1 month, and not even halfway down. (I'm pretty sure my goats are uposed to the stuff, to be honest.) As for how far we have to drive to get it, I live in a small, agricultural area, so we have a feed store only about 5 minutes away. ;-; |

Meian ~ My family and I recently visited Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary in UT, and apparently it's the biggest no-kill faculty in the world... they had many cute animals. And goats. And ravens! Cats. Dogs. Ducks? Absolutely. Pigs? Yup. Horses? Yeah. A mink? Yup xDxDxD It was very cool, but seeing the goats made me want one even more.... *^* Sadly, the goat itself isn't the problem, but rather where I'm going to put it xD |

Winterbreath, Wow! That sounds really cool. I wish I could go there :) As for not having enough space for some goats, that's really a shame. :( Do you know what kind of goat they had? |

If it's the orange bag we tried it, our goats don't like it for some reason :( This stuff is around $50 for a 50 lbs bag, plus the gas for the 4 hour trip down Amish lane I'm not making a joke either, that's what the road is called, and it's all gravel. The people that own the store are Amish as well. They are the only ones that carry it that are closest to us. |

Meian ~ Yeah, and actually I just got back from volunteering with their leukemia cats (omg so cute how dare they not be adopted by now-), and one of them was missing his two back feet, and I'm just like T-T and wanting to just adopt them all. (Heck, why not?! xD) Yeah, I live where it gets pretty cold, and I think in order to be a *responsible owner* (ugh xD) I should probably wait for a better time when I have an enclosure... *sigh* What kind? I have no idea ^^" It's a nonprofit but is just this huge orginization, so they probably aren't like purebred, or for breeding, but more for the company of a goat, hehehe |

Viv, That sounds rough. My goats don't like any minerals, to be honest, they only seem to eat the minimum amount required for their health XD That sounds like an interesting, though. Even if it does take 4 hours to finally arrive. I wish that we had Amish in California, but, alas, it is not to be. They only stayed in California a year, and I can't blame them. XD ~~
~~ Winterbreath, How cold does it get where you live? I would say the average temperature at night during the winter is probably around freezing, and maybe even above that. Though, I still get terrified that my goats are gonna be frozen when I wake up ^^" |
