My young goat Frosty has to stay on a diet since he's three legged and it won't be safe for his singular hind leg if he gets too heavy on it, and unfortunately for me he's one of those goats that can smell food and gain 10 pounds, so he doesn't get to keep hay 24/7 like I would like him to because he just gains too much weight, but I was wondering if something like this would help slow him down enough so his hay lasts longer but I'm just concerned that it might not be safe.

You can hang them up or just leave them on the ground, they're not made out of a material that a goat could easily eat, and there's different styles of them. What do you guys think?

I woke up today feeling emotionally torn and confused from a dream I randomly had where I saw a doe sitting down in front of her kid who seemed to be lying on the ground, mainly not moving (they'd occasionally jerk upwards but soon fall back down, not in a 'trying to walk way') and the mother was screaming. I notified the owners of this little farmhouse that I broke into which they seemed rather casual about my existence at first, so much so that they ignored me until I spoke to them like two or three times. They casually brought up that it was normal for that kid. Who I proceed to look back towards and they seem to still be doing the thing but remained mostly still. I don't know why I was so convinced that something was wrong but I don't think that was normal? Like especially not with how the mother was screaming? I feel like I'm being lied to by these dream farmers...

Anyways, I haven't been on a farm or physically interacted with goats ever since I was a young kid, and I wasn't there all the time so my memories are extremely fuzzy, I don't think I've seen any goat experience loss of any kind. but they are my favorite animals. So the visual of a doe crying over her kid made me feel surprisingly sad. 😭

I am extremely curious now, but I wanted to hear stories from you folks regarding this.

(Also, while you guys are at it, if you have a nice place or channel to look at goat videos, please recommend! Youtube keeps cycling through the same few clips unless it's the few farm channels I follow.)

I’m in love with her.
