Gandalf's Cousin? Do you mean Radagast?
Ponies, for one thing.
Um...sorry, don't understand the question.
Don't remember.
I think "Five feet broad, and three may walk abreast".
Grey Mountains to the North.
South, I don't remember. Anduin, maybe?
Sorry, don't remember three warnings.

Who was Gandalf's Cousin? => Radagast

What do goblins eat besides dwaves and hobbits? => Ponys could be the right answer but fish is also mentioned.

What kinds of eyes did the living down inside the mountain have? => Don't know exactly, search the book, it schould be in the chapter 'Riddels in the Dark'.

Which dwaf was nearest the whips when the company was captured by the goblins in the mountains? => I think it is Dori, but I am not sure. Bilbo was certanly behind him but he is no dwarf.

What were the demensions of the magic door?? => Already answered above.

What would obstruct the companies path, if they had gone north around mirkwood? => The Gray Mountians which were full of Goblins.

What would obstruct the companies path, if they had gone south around mirkwood? => The relam of the Necromancer in South Mirkwood.

What were the 3 warnings about mirkwood?? Don't leave the Path. Don't drink the water of the Forest River. The third one I can't remeber. It should be in the chapter 'Quer lodings'.

Respectfully

Who was Gandalf's Cousin?
I think Gandalf refers to Radaghast as his cousin at one point.

What do goblins eat besides dwaves and hobbits?
Ponies, and anything else they can find- but they're certainly carnivorous rather than omnivorous.

What kinds of eyes did the living down inside the mountain have?
Gollum had very big pale eyes, but in LoTR the orcs that lived in Moria had great black eyes- I assume huge pupils to let in as much light as possible.

Which dwaf was nearest the whips?
The one with whip weals on his ankles!

What were the demensions of the magic door??
It's written on the map you know!

What would obstruct the companies path, if they had gone north around mirkwood?
The terror to the north was the slopes of the mountains which held goblins and dragons.

What would obstruct the companies path, if they had gone south around mirkwood?
Sauron as the necromancer around Dol Guldor area.

What were the 3 warnings about mirkwood??
Don't leave the path, don't drink the water, and be in bed by 7:15!

Beoren warned them that the goblins walked a lot in one of the paths (I'm not sure which).

I know I'm late. A month since the last post. But I got a few answers.

Goblins eat meat of any creature besides other orcs, even if it's rotten.

I think you mean Creatures who live under the mountain, what do their eyes look like? Well they're big and if I remember slightly luminous. (Or was that in 20000 Leages Under the Sea)

Boundaries of Mirkwood are Tolkien's maps. I don't feel like looking.

There were more than 3 warnings, but here's some:
1- Stay the hell on the road, and don't be distracted by any lights. You'll get lost if you leave the road.
2- Don't touch the black water. That's bad stuff.
3- Keep an eye out for spiders.
