Skeeter got used to visiting her babies in the house. She always hated to leave them, but she soon began to realize that Phil and I were taking very good care of them and she stopped worrying so much once she went back outside.
Butterfly spent a lot of time laying like this with her hind legs stretched out during the first couple of days.
Phil and I took down our ping-pong table and set up a baby goat playpen in our basement where Butterfly could recuperate safely and comfortably. It was large enough for mama to spend time in there too! We usually brought her in for an hour or so in the morning. During the day I'd take her kids out to her to visit in the sunshine. Then at night I'd bring Skeeter back into the house for a final midnight feeding.
This box was extremely popular. I'd put the little goats in the pen and they'd make a beeline for the box and plop right down. I thought it was a pretty big box, but within a few days they barely fit in it together and George was jumping on top of it and threatening to flatten the whole thing.
