Miniature goats adapt well to virtually all climates, and are animated creatures. Goats are believed to be some of the earliest domesticated animals.

They have even temperaments and love being with people and other animals. They love to play and enjoy having something to balance and climb on. Goats are herd animals and do not like being alone.

A good basic diet for a goat is roughage in the form of hay with bark, brush and dry leaves where available and supplemented, when needed, with grain in the form of a commercial sweet feed.

Following a gestation period of 5 months, miniature goats bear one to four young every nine to twelve months. Newborn kids will nurse almost immediately and begin nibbling on hay within a week. They are weaned from their mothers by eight to twelve weeks of age.
