Thanks for the congratulations, I am smitten!
They are hilarious and just so friendly.
I am interested to see how they turn out too. Dad was a huuuuge Saanen but the Togg mother was more diminutive in stature.
Although you jest Charlie Horse, you are correct in your assumption of Aussie pests being at hand. While constructing the goat proof fence around the hedge and tree I have tried to grow for years( just out of shot to the right in the pic) despite periodic attacks on same from ponies, my husband encountered what we like to term a "land shark" aka a Red Bellied Black Snake. I havent had a pony in the paddock for more than 6 months and clearly the snake is now unused to us being around as much which is why we crossed paths when readying the paddock. We have mitigated the risks to the babies, both fur and humans as much as possible. In a way relieved it wasn't a brown snake as they are far more venomous and extremely aggressive.
Your cougars, bears, wolves scare the daylights out of me though. You have biiiiiiig critters!
