Hi Matt, welcome to the forum and welcome to the world of goos ... I'm sure if you have any questions, most people on here will know the answer, so feel free to ask us anything Well, at least you've given them a forever home, which is better than pets at home can do Did they manage to persuade you to get the thickets cage? If so, it might be a good idea to buy them a bigger cage in the future. Is there anything you're unsure about that they've told you? Feel free to ask anything

yep, they said the thickets cage would be "perfect", im planning on building them a decent one as soon as i move house in december, just need to make an "escape proof" one as they are particularly talented at running off

How did I guess? P@H always say that, haha I have to say, DIY cages are actually really good. I made one for my goos, and they love it - so it's a great idea Mine also have the same talent, one of them also likes to hide in various places in my room, which can be very annoying, haha Hopefully they'll grow out of those habits when they get a bit older ;D

Welcome Matt, Bill and Ben Sadly P@H have god a few people with that, if you need any ideas with your homebuild then look in the housing section or just ask. Infact if you need help with anything, then just ask. Only thing is, we do ask all new members for photos we love them

Ermm... some wood to try and block it off, not sure what else you could do really.
As for the male thing, P@H are well known getting it wrong, i've heard of one person getting get "male" to only have it give birth a while later. Sadly this happens alot with P@H and it doesn't look like it will be getting any better any time soon.
I really wish there was a way i could put horns on the P@H every time i do it ;D

I experienced the same confusion and wanted to ask the same question, Lrak. You beat me to it. Guess there are two Bill's and two Ben's then.
