Seriously what won't they eat? Haha even the palm tree leaves, but they are adorable. The goat thinks its a dog and wags its tail..

Yes, they can be voracious. Hopefully they won't have too adverse an affect on your Papaya (Carica papaya) crop.

I heard years ago a farmer of goats had them eating oregano plants, then when butchered and roasted there was an oregano flavor in the meat. interesting.
