In fact, a few years ago we complained to the local telephone company because our dial-up Internet connection kept timing out. When the repairman examined our setup he found that our phone wiring was gnawed almost in two. Yikes, embarrassing! Since then we've placed old window screens in front of our computer and phone wiring while we have bottle babies in the house (you can see a bit of screen behind Uzzi in the pictures I posted earlier).

When they get older, say five to six weeks old, kids get into everything and then they need fulltime supervision. I once found a five-week-old kid on top of the refrigerator (he hopped from the floor to a chair to the counter top to a toaster oven to the top of the 'fridge). They are ingenious and intelligent (and wonderful); never take a goat for granted.

Lambs are easier, but older ones still need supervision. Picture toilet paper unwound throughout the house. Yep, we've had several lambs (and kids) do that. Raising bottle babies in the house is fun but it's not for the weakhearted!

If anyone (ever) has bottle baby questions, please post them. I love bottle babies and I dearly love to talk about them too. :o)
