They need Alot of space, very active! My pen is 16 X 16 and I have to bring them out Alot to play. They need exercise.
You need really good fencing to keep them in. They love to climb 😵
Also, as they get bigger they need good manners or they can be a handful.
I love them, they are like pets for me. I wanted them for milk when they are old enough.
I really have always preferred to raise my animals from babies myself. But you might consider an animal that is already trained for your growing family.
Sure don't regret getting them but compared to my other critters they are high maintenance.
