I am breeding my nigis soon, and wanting to order blankets to have on hand just in case. Im sure with my luck they will kid during a cold spell in the middle of the night in a power outage.

So im wondering what size to order?

Since nigi babies are so small at birth I wouldn't think that any coat would fit them.. You could try a super duper small dog coat. Maybe something for a chihuahua could work? Some people just buy some fleece at a craft store and make their own coats too. You don't have to be an expert seamstress to do that and it'll save you money.

Small and extra small (depending on size at birth) dog coats work great.

I have puppy sweaters but also have used sweat shirt sleeves cut to fit and even used a heavy tube sock as a sweater for a tiny kid

I was thinking something made out of fleece material (whatever you go with) as it wont get soggy if damp as bad as cotton or even wool (I think I may have a childs wool sweater somewhere) would be best....
We are getting our first Nigerian weanling kid soon and I was worried about him regulating his temperature away from his old herd, not sure how he will be accepted by our 2 current herds (the minis, and the Obers)....

Just rereading the posts, and you know we have alot of unmatched (available) WOOL socks(DH has big feet)-- I bet those, with holes cut in them would be perfect for a small newborn....
