It is a good idea to have a pasture attached to the enclosure. A tall fence to keep the goats in and predators out is needed by all means. Housing requirements are rather simple. However, it should be large enough to accommodate the herd avoiding overcrowding (15 to 20 square feet per animal is needed). A shed is needed to provide warmth in cold months. It is vital to keep the Pygmy Goats' feet dry. Otherwise, hoof problems might develop. It is advisable to construct raised platforms for sleeping.
