PET ALPACAS: Pros and Cons

Tom visits an old friend who owns alpacas and examines whether they make good pets.

[@deefernandez8435]

You just convinced me to have Alpacas...i have 8 acres. thanks so much.

[@tomforbes72]

dee fernandez wow Dee. Great decision and good luck with your new pets. Thanks for letting me know.

[@18deadmonkeys]

I also generally only poo in one place.

[@sui11106]

Pro: alpacas cant bite you because they have no upper teeth

[@fionajane56]

suzie ...they can still bite....it’s a nasty bruising pinch and it can break the skin. They prefer to spit or kick. My neighbors have them and they call me to help them with them since I have large stock.

[@hannahgarlick9210]

They can bite but it’s more like a suck and they will not let go will leave a nasty bruise I work with alpacas

[@realtruth1448]

If an Alpaca bites you.. then you’re just a douchebag lol

[@mateuszbla]

[@livingfordreams8525]

I heard from someone who sheers alpacas that male alpacas actually have two teeth that lock, and if not filed down, they can latch onto you and tear your skin right off.

[@stephanienewhouse2056]

I have 4 acres fenced in. Do they need paddock fencing too? Or can they free range the property?

[@omarelias1490]

Beautiful, so are they loud? Is it better to own males versus females? Will they also eat any and all vegetables in our gardens? Lastly do they get I'll or require very much Vet attention? can they be left alone for a few days? Thanks

[@chilltime4878]

I will answer you. Males are easier. Have all same sex unless you have two seperate housings. They wanna breed 24/7. They eat a lot of vegetation but there is a lot that is poisonous to them as well. You can go online to find out a list of things that are bad for them. They really don’t require vet attention as long as you have a nice clean place and watch over your herd. They must always hv access to water, shelter, hay and a small amount of supplemental pellets each day for them to survive. They are livestock. They really don’t need people messing with them all the time. They all hv different personalities. Some like people, some don’t. Quite frankly, I don’t like people either.😜

I sure wish I could send you Photos. I just bought a 4 mo old pair for breeding. Stanley is such a sweet loving clown and Diva is well....a DIVA! She spits and gives hairy eyeball looks and tosses her hair and rolls her eyes. LOL They are in a corral with my Jenny ( a 9 m/o donkey ) Jenny is stubborn and wont come until we are taking the alpacas to the pastures, out the big gate..... then she comes galloping to join ! Diva ONLY likes human toddlers, everyone else is beneath her!

[@justmaccas3820]

Firstly you should NOT chase alpacas around like that not only will it scare them but you could get hurt as they won’t hesitate to kick, spit or trample you. With the food I would also suggest putting it in bins or tubs as alpacas won’t eat the stalks of the lucerne hay and the stalks will rot bringing unneeded pests. Alpacas aren’t just lawn mowers, yes will will eat grass but they require a proper diet of hay, grass, grains etc. I’m glad that you did have the three alpacas and for acres you should have no more than 6 alpacas on one Acre of land.

[@jboogiedtb2978]

@B C look, let's just agree to disagree. you won't change my mind. people are always trying to find what's wrong with the world these days. many things. but the names of her chickens are the least of our damn worries.

[@lulukenn_9913]

@B C you assumed my race and my gender. I don't think I'm the issue here. if this is the most of your worries that's simply sad. your arguments are really unstable. if you're going to try and sound right, at least try spot the fallacies.

[@lulukenn_9913]

@B C that's not the point of this argument so therefore, your arguments are just invalid..I don't get it; why do you care so much. I'm busy anyway so I'm done here. good day though, that was a very.. eye-opening argument :)

The reasoning behind some of the “she / he is racist because...” is just pathetic. You can clearly see he was laughing with shock and pulled a face because he knew it wasn’t appropriate and just weird. You don’t say the history channel supports racism by not censoring people’s lives. Yes, there is something very weird with naming all your animals with traditional ‘black’ names but cmon.. it’s funny because she doesn’t see it as wrong.

[@NICCAGE26]

[@tamararobinson4048]

All of her animals black in color, we're named after black stars or traditionally black names.....it was quite obvious after she revealed her black dog's name. Quite frankly, I don't even believe these are really her pet's names. When ask what the last alpacas name was she hesitated. She had to think about it. She's a not a lovely lady. Rather rude and racist.

[@chrishoggett1375]

Cody Blumenshine can you explain to me why? There names are successful black people, right? I’m Belgian, black people aren’t really the target of racism. They are just part of society. Peoples republic of Congo was a colony, so most black people here have their roots over there. I feel there is much more racism and distrust towards Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East than central Africans. I think this is true for most of Europe.
