Hey there! I have decided to (finally) get a llama! After several years of pining and the last month of educating myself with internet, phone conversations, books and asking anyone I know that has any knowledge, I have made the plunge and am (hopefully) going to be joining the llama world in about a month. I have found a 7 month old male from a reputable breeder and have spoken to her several times. He has been raised with other llamas and is ready to go home. I am currently working on fencing and building a structure for him before bringing him to his new digs.
My biggest hurdle is the companion animal. I have done a lot of reading and am up in the air as to what to get this little guy as a friend. Obviously, another llama would be best, but I am not sure that this is the best option for me financially. A goat is out of the question as my boyfriend does not like them. So, I am left with a sheep, a horse or mini (too expensive and between teeth and farrier I don't want to delve into the equestrian world) or......???
I have 4 geese and was wondering if they would act as companion animals? I know it is a stretch, but someone told me this could work so I just thought I would confirm here. As they are fowl, and not necessarily "herd" animals, I thought it sounded fishy.
Obviously, I want this guy to have the very best life with me and be happy in his new home. Any suggestions?? I live on about an acre and have a flock of chickens, 4 geese and two large (and extremely animal friendly) dogs.
Thanks in advance! Monica
