    Please Help: Feeding Elderly Alpaca

    Unfortunately I can't find blue seal anywhere right now but will see if we can get any. I have some rescue minis too. They are such cute little things. I have a mother/daughter pair and the daughter has dwarfism but not so bad that it affects her health. She gets a little underbite that we have...

    Thank you for your response and concern. His weight isn't horrendous and we work in close collaboration with our vet. He is happy, and other than being blind, very healthy.

There is nothing available in our area and I cannot afford to send $20 a bag on shipping. Our vet told me to do goat feed, but I double checked her since she is not very experience with...

    We are not in an area where blue seal is distributed. Mazuri was the ONLY alpaca feed that was available near us. Thank you for your input though.

    Thank you Bruce, I have looked into that option, but shipping is around $20 a bag no matter how many you get so that is not going to be a workable option. I need something I can get at the feed store.

    Please Help: Feeding Elderly Alpaca

    Hello, I have a 20 year old alpaca. He is blind and allergic to bermuda hay (vet confirmed) and needs grain to maintain his weight. I am unable to get the feed I was feeding anymore (mazuri alpaca growth formula) and can only get the chews, which he won't eat as they are too large. I am...
