My wife and I have been thinking of getting a pair a pygmy nubian goats for pets. We even talked ablut getting a few more and breeding them. Anyone have any advice. Should we keep them indoor or outdoor? Should we breed them? Other than playing with them everyday which I am sure we will do, how much attention do they need?

You should breed them and make them as many as you can. It would be awesome and at the same time, you will earn money.

Thanks Adnileb. Thats kinda what we though after looking at the prices to buy them,We have the land so if we keep them outside they can roam our property if they like. and it seams to me that selling them could bring in some good cash.

Here in our country, goats are expensive. I prefer to eat goat's meat rather than the pork one. Goats eat only fresh grass while pigs eat processed feeds, that makes a goat healthy to eat for everyday living..

I don't know much about goats, but I used to know a girl who had a pet goat. Keep them outside! They smell weird and I don't know if you can potty train them, but this one seemed to poop a lot. Also, they will eat anything, so you don't want them around your belongings. They are like a pack of really misbehaved dogs in that way. They don't seem to really need that much attention, besides probably bathing them often. Good luck. :)
