Re. Llamas and Alpacas I did my internship in the Lg Animal ward at The Ohio State University Vet school. Worked alot with them cause Dr. Anderson is an authority in their treatment and husbandry. He was generous with his students when it came to teaching us how to handle them. Not lot of opportunity for most of us to learn by experience.They have a web page where we can watch her being bored. 7-9 days is usual, she got irradiated yesterday so most likly will be there until at least next Wed. They check levels on M-W & F.

Does he talk? Will he do anything for a buck?
Don't know about that, at least with alpacas. I can smell when Laddie has spit at Teddy from the other end of the barn - 50'. I think it is funny they spit (1st stomach contents,) as an offensive maneuver (or is it defensive?) at another alpaca. If the stink bothered them you wouldn't think it would be something THEY would want to smell.
Actually it is not uncommon to put a towel over an alpaca or llama's face when you are working on them and they are spitters.
No but I gather they can kick you from here to China.
Not big on antibacterial soap. We are creating more and more resistant bacteria.
