Willow is being a little pain in the arse the last few days with her bleeting, she has everything she needs and in good health..the only way she shuts up is when locked up for the nite..any ideas??could she be extra hungry as she is nursing?

Has she got plenty of grazing or hay?
Perhaps she just wants some adult/people company. :)

Mine get extra noisy when they are a)in season or b) needing extra hay/water (ie. if its run out and I've not had my eye on the ball)...

She could just be lonely, they will eat till they burst so don't confuse hunger with greed , when ours have eaten enough hay they will just pull the rest out of the rack and make a bed with it, then shout for fresh .
