so...here, a little bit north of South Carolina, USA...we have (at present) 6 Huacaya alpaca (evenly split male/female) and a Suri male (who is looking for love); 3 male pygmy goats; what feels like several hundred chickens, but is really only several, er, dozen; a dozen ducks; three roosters; two German Shepherd dogs; and a Great Pyrenees pup. Plus whatever random assortment of children happen to be making their way to the fridge and/or my wallet...

That’s absolutely wonderful! They are beautiful creatures and obviously very well looked after - they look so happy! Thank you for sharing!

Maybe you could launch a kid's television programme.
Get Ringo to do the voice overs.
But, if you do get Ringo. You'll need subtitles in English.


Or. You could go for topical and political. Tell me these two aren't dead ringers for each other.

With a mullet like his. The alpaca is a shoe-in for Donald. The ducks could be the January 6th Committee.
and Liz Cheney could be played by the pup. Cause they're both off-blonde, cute and impeccably turned out.

I need a hobby. Obvs :eek:

Love it all...esp. the Ringo bit. Was just harping on how he & Paul are somehow what we got left with (pls no hate if The Cute One was your favorite!) No, no, no, no I don't (sniff) no more...I'm tired of waking up on the floor...

Lovely. Quite fancy Alpaca's but no where to put them. And what do you do with them when you are away?

Apparently you need more than one, and you need to keep the the sexes apart otherwise they are just constantly at it!

yes...must have at least a pair; they will literally die from loneliness, even amongst other animals. They can be left to their own devices, with automatic waterers and enough hay, although we always have a hand with things here if we are going to be away more than 24 hours.

The mating ritual, as i think I mentioned, can be somewhat disturbing...it involves the male humming, loudly, until the female decides to be willing and...er, assume the position. And then the male...continues to hum. For like 20 minutes. Or more...until the Deed is done and dismount occurs.

Once pregnant, or pushed far enough, the girls will not respond to the humming very favorably...spitting generally ensues, although I've witnessed some rather sharp kicks as well...
