My llama is overweight. I know I need to get the weight off. What is the best way to do so? I bought a scale and have started weighing how much hay I feed her. I've been doing this about a month already. I read I should give 1.8%-2% of her body weight in dry matter daily. I'm currently giving...

I am thinking of building a ramp for my llama to use to get up to the back of our pickup. I was looking online at YouTube video's of llama obstacles to see if any of them use a ramp obstacle. I haven't found one yet.....but I came across this video which was pretty funny... you have to watch...

Do any of you haul your llamas in anything besides a horse trailer?

Finally got my rescue llamas shorn today.........but sadly discovered lice at the same time. I had been hoping to use some of their fleece to try and do some felting projects. Should I just toss it? Or is it usable after the lice and then the nits die? bluck.......I feel so itchy now :(

Here's a picture of our new goat toy getting delivered.

Our little Nigi, "Smarties", thinks the manger is THE place to be. I was scared when I first saw her with her leg hanging over like that....but she was quite comfortable, thank you very much.

There was a domestic rabbit in our yard last night.... I was unable to catch it and I haven't seen it yet today. I'm curious how far a rabbit will wander when it gets loose? I'll put out a live trap if it might still be hanging around. We have 3 wooded acres, as do all our neighbors.

Just curious how common it is for female llamas to get urinary tract infections? I'm pretty sure my 3 year old has one......she has discharge around her vulva.....probably crystals as well. I'm going to try and get a urine sample to the vet........If I can catch her in the act of going! :/...

I was going to use Ivomec to worm my llamas. It looks like folks give it ORALLY to their goats. How about you llama owners?? And at what dose? :hu Thanks!

Any of you expert goat wranglers have any tricks for drenching your goaties so that they get it in and don't aspirate any?

I've got this almost 3 year old wether. He can be a naughty pest...head swinging and pushing. I can deal with those things most of the time. But he also does this tongue lagging and front leg kicking thing at me that I really don't like. I'm not sure why he does it, or how to make him stop. I've...
