Thank you!!

One more question: we are feeding hay and pellets. Do they need salt or minerals in addition? We can't seem to find specialized camelid minerals in Canada.

I've had my girls for 2 weeks now and have some questions for more experienced folks. One of the alpacas gazes over the fence and calls out with a high pitched whinny. Any ideas what this means? Second question- they generally get along well, albeit some spitting and snorting over food...

Thank you! I love bees too; that might be a future project. I visited Colorado for the first time last year. Loved it! We live on Gabriola Island, BC (small island off Vancouver Island)

Haha. I just figured out how to post on my profile, but I will try to post more.

They are Dorothy and Rose. They came with names from a rescue organization in Victoria, BC.

I just got mine too. Dorothy will eat out of my hand, but Rose is more shy. I am looking forward to learning more on this site.

Hi! I've been a member of backyard chickens for a few years and now that I have 2 alpacas, was happy to find this site.
