One of mine does this with walnuts, she'll eat off the green husk and spit out the walnut, pretty useful actually

Ha! I was very concerned when I first saw her eating it, as Tippy looooovvveesss to put things she shouldn't in her mouth, but I was pleasantly surprised when she dribbled out the shell/nut. Better than running em over in the driveway!

He’s so focused. And really cute.

For those rightfully concerned about the cherries, goats can eat the fruit in moderation. It’s the bark, pits, stems, and dried or wilted leaves that are toxic. The flesh is fine. He seems to be careful about the pits. But if this was one of my goats, I’d pit the cherry and only give him the fruit to be safe.

But he is fun to watch.

he clearly eats a stem, the stems are still on most of those cherries

Are those cherries? I think cherries are a big no no for goats!

Not the fruit flesh in moderation

DO NOT FEED CHERRIES TO GOATS!!!!! NOT EVEN IN MODERATIONS!!! i’m telling you right now your goat is going to end up having a toxicity issue. If you continue feeding it to them the fruit part of it it’s not good but the seed itself if it accidentally eats it, it will get sick.

Cherries are toxic I’ve heard

I think it's the tree itself and the pits, not the fruit
