OK, ok, they just eat the paper labels off the cans but they do, or at least can, eat an array of indigestable crap with no apparent ill effects. That's why they've always been the critter of choice for clearing land.

Just because the goatie isn't smart enough to eat only digestible fare on his own doesn't mean he should be offered a free for all on Twizzlers or anything else not good for him.
I don't think Miss is using him to clear land, but rather as a breeder and a pet. So I think she wants to keep him as healthy as possible. If the dork eats something he shouldn't on his own that's one thing, but I'd hate to be the one who offered him a treat that made him sick. Don't get me wrong I don't think a couple of Twizzlers is going to kill him, but I think I would have started giving him treats like an apple or carrot so that when he starts demanding treats she won't have to show up with a Twizzler every time to appease his new found sweet tooth
. Forgive me rambling on here, but it's kinda like people who give their dogs chicken bones. Sure dogs will eat um, and many dogs have no problem passing them, but the one time a bone gets stuck or blocks his intestine it's off to the vet for a $500 surgery. I would just rather not risk the chance of being the cause of such problems.
