Clicking toes is totally normal and nothing to worry about unless it's accompanied by pain or swelling. Cuzco has been merrily clicking away (quite loudly I might add) for a good 13+ years now and he's CAE negative. Rex from Northwest Packgoats theorized that it's a form of communication so goat herds can keep together and identify one another without making louder noises that attract predators. Another person claims it is primarily demonstrated by high ranking goats in a herd and a goat that clicks will stop once another rises to the top of the pecking order. Whatever the case, I've always found the clicking to be rather fascinating.
