How can you determine how much hay to feed a pygmy goat?

Question

I have three pygmy goats. Two does and a buck. How do you determine how much hay to feed each of them? The does are about 1 year old and the buck is about 6 months. They always act like they are hungry, but a goat will practically eat itself to death. Help???

Answer 1

you should do is go out to it with alot of hey and just see how much he eats dont over feed him you should know when to stop

Answer 2

No, a goat will not eat itself to death.

Goats should have free access to as much hay or grass as they want.  It helps them keep a healthy rumen along with maintaining a good weight.  A small amount of grain or pelleted feed once or twice daily is also a good idea.  Make sure they always have salt, minerals, and clean water available as well.

Answer 3

If i was you i would call a vet and ask them because i you don't went them to die so CALL.
