Default What will goats not eat? Christmas goats and other presents.

Nope, they should gobble down the lot. AFAIK onions are out, but everything
else should be fine. They're smart enough not to eat the onions (usually)

So, back to what goats eat just for a sec...

What veggie peelings can't they eat?

I've just peeled over 20 kgs of every imaginable vegetable to prepare my
veggie bakes that I roast and then freeze ahead of time (26 guests for
Christmas Day - ugh I hate it when it's my turn) and I thought I'd see if
my neighbour would want her five goats to have them. I haven't yet set up
my compost heap and there's such a lot to throw out otherwise.

I'd heard that some animals (such as pet guinea pigs) aren't supposed to
have certain ones. I have mass peelings (3 shopping bags full) of
peelings from potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower (stems),
brocolli (stems), capsicums, carrots, beans, zuccini, spinach (stalks)
squash, (I didn't put the onion, spring onion or garlic peels in there coz
I'd heard that onions can be toxic to some animals, but goats, I dunno.)

I just thought I wouldn't mind knowing whether they shouldn't have them
before asking if her goats want 'em.
