To be young and carefree like a baby goat, gleefully exploring his paddock playground for the very first time, is the stuff of dreams! One could also describe this scene as heaven on earth or total cuteness overload.

We think it’s both because these two things are often one and the same, as this adorable video shows. Honestly, can anyone resist this precious little baby pygmy goat’s irresistible hoof taps as he hops around his paddock area?

Hop, hop, hoppity, hop! Did someone tell this precious little baby pygmy goat that he was a bunny, LOL? Or maybe he just really loves doing his best bunny rabbit imitation? Either way, he is totally adorable!

But the truth is that he probably just has more joy and excitement than he knows what to do with, because this is his first time getting to play in the paddock, so his zoomies are in full swing!

Pretty much every aspect of this little goat’s behavior is giving us total cuteness overload – from his precious little bleats, to his enthusiastic tail shakes – he truly is a little darling!

However, it’s the irresistible tippy taps of his little hooves as he hops over the plywood and crunchy leaves that’s really stealing our hearts!

And we are not the only ones who are completely smitten with the sound of this precious little baby’s happy hops.

Instagram user lia_rushton was practically gushing through her keyboard when she wrote, “I love the clomping on the wood, what a great sound from such a sweet little guy!”

Other Instagram users also commented on how sweet a sound this baby goat’s prancing hooves were, while also admiring how happy he seems to be running around the paddock.

This Baby Pygmy Goat Also Enjoys an ‘Obstacle Course’

As this other video shows, this precious little goat also enjoys prancing around on his very own “obstacle course.” Impressively, this little guy was only five weeks old in this footage, but he was already navigating this obstacle course like a pro!

And of course, his mother was waiting for him at the end of the obstacle course, giving him plenty of encouragement and support as he played his little heart out.

We think it’s safe to say that this precious little baby pygmy goat is starting off on the right hoof when it comes to living his best life!
