My local feed store doesn't have alpaca/llama grain they offered to order it for me. He isn't familiar with alpacas at all but I read some of the threads to him about feeding. From this thread https://www.alpacanation.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10874 "Read the labels on the different types...

They are both little guys, about 95 lbs. Smaller guy is the one that can be more of a butt head. I think it's more me, I'm pretty sure he doesn't like me. He doesn't ever do it around my husband.

He won't let me get close enough. He's skiddish then there was an incident with the dog chasing him and he jumped the fence and ended up have to be neutered because of his fence jumping and not clearing it indecent. I didn't want to make him more angry/skiddish of me. I'm going to try...

We have 2 male alpacas they are about 1.5 years old, one is in tact and one is not. We have had them a little over a month and in that time one got neutered (he was running from the dog and jumped the fence and well we had to have him nurtured because he almost did it himself). Whenever I feed...

I would love to be able to take my alpacas for walks. We just got them in October and they are each about a year and half old. We are going to work on it, right now they won't even let us put harnesses on them. How long have you had yours?
