Holy Toledo Batman!   
Did you just get these or have you had them for awhile? All I can say is wow, if that had been my goats my old man would have shot them before I could have said anything.
My goodness, the more and more I read on the goat forum here i'm more and more glad I don't have any. They would be driving me to the point of having barbequed goat ALOT! But I luuuvv all the baby goat pictures!

If it makes you feel better...My horses stripped the bark off of a beautiful tree over night once. For 2 years the most they did was scratch their ass on it. Then one morning all bark GONE. We will see next spring if the tree survives.
Also...I have spent oodles of money having the phone wires re-attached to the house from the goats. And they ate a roll of fiberglass insulation. And the most horrible of horrible...they ate hubby's tractor manual. I am very familiar with goat damage since I let them free range. It's funny how they always go after hubby's stuff though (hmm...maybe becuz it is impossible for him to put stuff away when he is done) They also chewed the windshield wipers off his car.

Oh Boy did they ever do a job on your garage! My hubby would shoot me then the goats I think. Thank gosh mine don't come up to the house!
Reminds me of all the stories Minelson has told of her goats over the last few years!

With all the paint they ate off the door, they may just get lead poisoning!  Er, wait... I'm not sure if that's funny or not!

Pressed board is candy to goats. Mine ate a hole in my writing getaway wall until we fenced it and demolished the pump house (it's now re-done with oak boards).
The very first time I brought Jadzia's twins out for an airing in the yard they were three days old and little Bijou paused by the pump house to take a nibble.
Oh, they also ate holes in the underskirting under our trailer (the new underskirting is oak).
Besides being horribly destructive, think of the chemicals and other junk that goes into pressed wood products and what it does to their guts. But do they care? Noooooo.
I've been taking Milo, Esme and Jimmy up on the deck attached to my little writing getaway to hang around while I do research and just yesterday Milo started nibbling the newly painted pressed wood exterior. No more deck time for those three...

Wow! Are your goats part parrot?
I used to keep my closet door open, until I found out that one of my B&G macaws, Jasmine, was sneaking into the closet when I wasn't looking and methodically tearing a hole in the wall inside there. I had wood splinters all over the floor in my closet.
Now, the closet door stays closed, and she has a nest box to tear into pieces.
My goats have stripped trees, demolished a 15 year old cactus that they had ignored for 3 years, caved in the roof of a chicken coop by repeatedly jumping on it and any number of destructive things (including eating the plastic-backed fabric from my camp chairs).
But they haven't eaten the house.......yet.

They are refusing to leave it alone now. I nailed Spice with a blast from the hose several times but she just keeps going back. They are now sleeping in a chain link dog kennel! My house has Cedar siding and they are eating it. They need to make goat muzzles.

Oh, cedar!
Try giving them Vit. C supplements.
I have cedar trees, and the goats go after them, bark and all, when they want Vit. C., or they start getting a parasite load. In fact, when they start tearing into a cedar, I do fecals.
ETA: The *do* make goat muzzles. Nylon things they put on show goats to keep them from eating their bedding at shows.

Caliann that's brilliant! Any idea where to get these muzzles? I would only use them at night so they stop eating my house and I can replace the door.
I will start giving them Vitamin C today. I will also do fecals tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

I don't think I'd muzzel them, how will they drink or eat hay all night since I know mine get up & wander around sometimes at night.
What about running a fence a couple feet away from the house so you can easily get through there but the goats won't be able to get close enough to do any damage?
