Can anyone tell me why my Juvenile llama female has been nursing on an adult llama female?
I didn't think they got milk until after they had a baby??
Is this odd? Llamas are new to me, I don't get it.

There probably is no milk. Just the security of nursing. I'm surprised the older female will let someone other than her own cria nurse but that isn't totally unusual either.

Oh! Ok, I was wondering if there was milk or not, it was strange. I tried to get some pictures... haha
