Answer 1

dani - why are you soooo obsessed with having baby animals running around?
You keep posting about how you want to have "baby puppies", yet then you say that you can't afford to buy a dog.
You keep talking about how you want to "unfix" your male dog and buy a female to breed him to, but you call anyone who gives you breeding guidelines "stupid" and "rude".
You say that you will only have outside dogs, yet you want us to recommend dogs to you for you to knock up.
You have about 40 questions about breeding your hamsters and selling them.
You have numerous questions about how much animals cost so that you can breed them.


Now here you are talking about breeding your goats. How do you expect to do this with no money? It's not free to breed animals, dani. You need vet care, food, shots, emergency care, etc. What happens if the female goes into distress and can't birth alone? Are you going to call a vet to help her or are you going to let her sit there, lose her baby, suffer, and then die? What is wrong with you? You don't have the mental capacity to care for anything. You are a child living at home with parents who obviously don't supervise you. If you want "baby puppies" and baby goats so bad, go volunteer at a rescue organization. See what happens when children decide to breed their pets. Watch them as they are put down, perfectly healthy. Go to a farm animal sanctuary and watch when malnourished goats come in abused, neglected, and dying, all because some immature person wanted "babies" around the house. Honey, Babies become grown-up really quickly. And no ethical person is going to buy even a goldfish from you. Give this dream of having a house full of baby animals up.

Unless, of course, you are just a child who is playing games on the Internet. After all, even an intelligent child would know that everything that you've said on here is just plain stupid.

Answer 2

You probaly should do some research on goats. Especially if your interested in breeding. You goats may not be ready to breed. Most times the males are ready but the females need to wait, I say at least 6 mos to a year at least.

Answer 3

They need to mature - esp the females- there bellies and teats should enlarge when pregnant- talk to someone that is experienced- maybe the person you got the got from can help- with it all- delivery of baby goats and all- D

Answer 4

You might also consider doing some research on the net and finding out when goats are sexually mature, and when they go into their "breeding" season. They may not be ready yet.

Answer 5

If you don't know what signs of pregnancy are, and when goats sexually mature, you should do more research BEFORE you breed. I'm not trying to be rude, but, what if there are complications during birth? Do you know how to care for newborn kids? If not, PLEASE research before you breed them.

Answer 6

You can talk to a large animal vet about artificial insemination for the goats. I worked with vet who did it for a bull dog breeder.

Answer 7

if they are about 6 months then they can breed.i used to breed goats.it depends on how many babies she is carring. if she is carring 1 it will take 3 months like dogs and cats but if she has 2 or more it will take up to 6 months or more.
