Here are the 2 bouncing baby boys. Peanut has exceeded ALL my hopes & expectations. He bounces, he plays, and his tummy is always full.

Wow! Just look at the size difference!

And Magilla himself. I think he *knows* he's a handsome boy.

What sweet looking little babies! Unbelievable the difference in size in those 2 boys! So glad Peanut is doing so well.

Jeepers they are pretty! And cute!

I know this sounds dumb..but can a goat settle in 2 different heats? The kids look like they are a month apart in age!

Good for Peanut!! I have a question: with the minis being so popular as pets...if he stays really small, will he be considered "special" and perhaps worth more because of his size? He probably will catch up and be a normal sized boy, but I was just wondering? Don't know anything about minis.

Good question! Peanut WAS the first one out. Maybe he was the last one "planted" (on the heat following the initial implantation?)

I have to think that, because he carries the same genes as his siblings, he won't be anything "special", and may well catch up to the others in size & weight.
