ive got a week old baby alpaca from a man because he runs a alpaca farm and can't bottle raise him. What milk replaced can I use for him from the local tractor supply?
I was wondering how do most breeders take the baby's away from their mom and their method? Like I know most do it shortly after there born and put them on the bottle but I would like to know a couple different methods. I want to Milk my does next spring but I'm not sure about how I should handle it.
