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.

I wonder what guinea pigs taste like?

Taste like chicken.

Nice Try!
Goats shop in MEEEHHEHElbourne!

The only place that will still have them?


Lions.

Goats don't eat 'em.

Of course, then you have a lion.

But Lions don't eat shoes. Or roses. The dog, maybe, and Grandma, but your
garden will be safe.

O yes, were fast becoming an islamic capitol.

Really? So mum and her goats would fit right in then...she'd love it.
She loves middle eastern people, I think she travelled a lot there when
she was young. When you still could travel there.

You don't have to today. They're visiting us instead.
Just goes to show, show em a post card and they're hooked. After all we
have more camels than they do, and goats and probably everything else
too.

Psst, you want see some feeeelthy postcard?

I have some with goat.



Nooo, I'm not a goat man...do you have anytheeeng with camel?

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)

They don't eat raw potato peelings, and you shouldn't offer them anything
poisonous like rhubarb leaves, but apart from that the only thing I can think
of is a guinea pig we had who died horribly of bloat after eating grapes. He
was a greedy aggro boar and kept them for himself, I think.

I wondered why anyone would need an explanation. With eyes on both sides
of your face you would hafta be crazy to want to cry, when obviously not
designed not to do so.

How do they cry? I've never seen a crying chicken, although chickens do
hiccup according to the Wiggles.


You have to believe me. They cant, so its a conflict of interest. They
dont know how, so they end up a nervous wreck. Anyway were all about
goats, which would be a great name for a new franchise.
