We have two evil pygmy goats (breeding is satan x satan). They go through phases on various annoying behaviour (headbutting chickens like footballs, getting their heads stuck in metal gates and needing to be welded out, getting out purely so they can bounce on our car, working as a team to keep pushing their kennel over and then screaming unconsolably when they can't get into it) .

Their most recent annoying behaviour is chewing through the wires of the electric battery kit. I haven't a clue how the reach it, as i strecth it out of their way, but they must be able to get their horns through and loop it in and chew it, both black and red wires. Pictures attached. They have gone through 3 leads this week and it's driving me mad.

My question is: are they going to get killed by chewing the wire the wrong way?! Are there chew proof wires available? Is there any better way I camn set it up?

At the moment I have a decoy battery that they chew away on, and the working one is stretched out of reach. I'm sure satan will communicate telepathically with them to tell them how to damage both, but it's the only thing that seems to be working at the moment. any help appreciated!

Ok....first OMG poor you ! And I can't see an y pics?

Second....I have no idea if they will kill themselves eating the wires....But....

You can by plastic sheep netting which is electric fence....generally orange....which is quite high and very effective...you get it at you local farmers co op...would that help?

Got the pics :) and OMG again!

Ok....how about you put the croc clip at the bottom of the net and trail it along the ground so that Satan 1 and two can't actually get at it?

And....in their defence....I do have a problem with the bally wind snapping mine at the moment?
