Author Topic: Pygmy goat bells?? (Read 4305 times)

Hi all

I have two very very very cheeky and very cute pygmy goats - castrated twin boys.

they are awesome pets but when i'm doing the horses then can make me jump out of my skin as they appear from nowhere!

I was wondering where I could get a couple of bells so i can at least hear where they are! they already wear collars so would be fine.

Many thanks in advance

I took my bells off of Christmas decorations.

Just watch for nibbling or if they fall off and are munched/swallowed, maybe some kind of smallish cowbell, but like they say on toys for under 3's 'be careful of small parts'.

Go to an art store and buy some (cheaper than parrot bells)
HobbyCraft do packets in various sizes

I have some from a falconry site, the type that go on the legs of the birds?
the small round ones,
I also have some of the 'budgie' bells, I love the sound of them all tinkling as the goats are coming in or out.

Hi All

I ended up buying size 4 acorn falconry bells. the link to the bell above is not suitable for pygmys! Its mahoosive!

Anyway, the size 4 bells are perfect.

thanks all for help and advice.

just need to get them used to being handled but they are very nervous goatlings.
