The Love Shack

Muppet, the male, has been busy. When he arrived, all the females were vaguely interested in the new boy, but none of them wanted anything more serious. Day two was a different story! All of our adult females were queuing up for his attention, tails wagging furiously. He did his best to keep them happy to the delight of the children. He started with Margo, swiftly moved on to Bonnie, and split the afternoon between Bonnie and Gwendolyn. The next day was a bit calmer. Margo and Bonnie seemed over their ever-lasting love, but there was still a fair bit of action with Gwendolyn. The children had lost interest by then, so observations became a bit vague. There is a chance that one or two of the goatlings got involved, but whe can't be sure.
Then there was nothing for two days. The poor boy was trying his best to interest the females but none of them let him anywhere near them. Until one of our sleek goatlings, Gwennie, started wagging her tail late yesterday afternoon. Today the two are inseparable.
So - we're confident that four of our seven females have a chance of being pregnant. If the last few days are anything to go by, the remaining two or three goatlings should follow soon. Then we'll have to wait and see if any of them come into season again. If they don't, we can assume that they're in kid! Watch this space...
