Info about animal care!! I'm moving onto a ranch with my hubby as a caretaker...? |
The stock includes: 8 emus, 3 ostriches, 18 goats, 2 zebras, 5 llamas, 7 miniature horses, 4 full size horses, 5 mini burros, a donkey, a pot-bellied pig, and a family of fallow ("canadian spotted") deer. I will have a feeding schedule already in place, along with monthly vet visits, and I know basic handling of the animals. I need advice as to how to keep them busy and their minds stimulated (eg, toys, games etc.), as their current care is VERY basic. I am planning to take riding and care lessons for horses when we move there, but I would love any hints and personal experience advice! Samurai lullaby-- Great tip for the goats. They are constantly trying to climb the fences! Goats LOVE to climb things. I recommend getting them old wooden spools (the large ones used to hold wire fencing). They'll be happy to climb and play on them. Well, you can find special toys for the equines; a cheaper option you be to tie old milk jugs up in the horses' stalls. My old riding instructor would do that and the horses loved it - it keeps them mentally stimulated and prevents bad habits like cribbing. |
