Pygmy housing

Collecting my 2 girls tomorrow and will keep them in a stable initialy, was then planning on using the now empty pig ark but it does not have a floor and I am worried that it might be too draughty.

If it was me, I would probably try and deck it out, possibly a couple of old pallets with a thick rubber horse mat on top that would give them somewhere warm to sleep.


We have the horse mad stuff on shelves 500mm off the deck and 500mm deep - they love their 'shelves' and equally like snuggling under them.


Can we see pictures soon  :thumbsup:

My pygmy goats are in pig arks - just put plenty of bedding down.  Local council very keen, and would probably say a floor meant it was not mobile, and it is easier for moving round the fields.
