Randomly Cute -- New Alpaca arrives today!

[Blue_Frog]

... a couple ways to tell a Llama from an Alpaca

Llamas - Are bigger than Alpacas when full grown, and have ears that are shaped like banananananas

Alpacas - Are smaller than Llamas when full grown, and have ears that are shaped like spears

Blue_frog, I like the one of you with all of them, white, brown and black. They are so fluffy and pretty! Please pat them for me. I hope Syndrome gets along really well with the group!

Syndrome is so adorable and I just want to give him a BIG squish Many questions!! I'm looking into different animals to keep when I'm finished taking care of my grandparents. I've kept horses before. Are alpacas easier, harder, or just different? Do ya'll shear them yourselves? Also, I'm an amateur knitter/crocheter. I'm also thinking about spinning my own yarn. Do you spin and dye your own yarn? Or do you have all that professionally done? Thank you.
