Meet Zebby and Coco, Our New Goat Brothers

Breaking news from the paddock: the herd has grown by two, and the noise level has grown by about four. Please welcome Zebby and Coco, one-year-old Nigerian Dwarf brothers who have moved to Hidden Camp from a loving family in Gladstone.

Zebby: dressed for a formal, every day

Zebby comes in black, tan and white, with a racing stripe down his face and a white tuft on his forehead that no amount of grooming will ever flatten. He has amber eyes, an excellent side profile and the confidence of a goat who knows he is photogenic. He will pose for your photo. He will then try to eat your phone.

Coco: the chocolate one (not the pig)

Coco is Zebby's brother, a rich chocolate brown with ears that can't decide whether to stand up, stick out or flop, so they do all three. He wears a pink collar and absolutely pulls it off. Yes, we already have a pig called Coco. To keep things civil, this one is officially Coco the goat, and the other is Coco the pig. Please do not tell either of them.

First day on the job

Their family described them as super friendly, beautiful, social guys, and they were not exaggerating. Within hours of arriving they found Party Marty and spent the whole morning playing like they had been mates for years. Both boys are neutered, both are brothers, and both believe every bucket in Queensland is for them.

Sponsor Zebby or Coco

You can sponsor either brother from $5 a month on our Bronze goat plan, or go Silver or Gold for videos, birthday messages and a feed-them visit when we reopen. Pick Zebby or Coco (the goat) on the sign-up form and we will email your certificate, because a paper one would not survive the week.

And to the family in Gladstone: thank you for trusting us with your boys. We will send plenty of photos.
