The men are called wethers. The long fibers in the hay, I have actually checked out, are the best for their health. Pelleted feeds have a tendency to contain various other things and also are obviously missing the long fibers of raw as well as dried out yard hay. Due to the absence of advancement, genitally, the wethers are more prone to obstructions in their urinary system. One think I have actually discovered recently is a couple of my wethers are reversing to check out themselves when they urinate. Because of this (maybe nothing) I have actually determined to withdraw on the grain by regarding half. They have actually been a bit mad at me, to state the least. The cough hasn’t spread to the others. The evening prior to last, his temperature level was a normal 102. Last evening it was about 103. The NPGA Association mentions that 102-104 is a regular variety for pygmy goats. I guess sometimes the grain will irritate their lungs? I will certainly keep an eye on Carl to see if his coughing vanishes.
