Many of alpacas do love carrots. They also love apples. We have apple trees at the bottom of our pastures, and in the fall, when they hear one drop, they take off at top speed from the shelter area! There are also pear trees which they also like, but apples are their favorites.
Baby alpacas, known as crias, look like smaller versions of adult alpacas. They also tend to have lighter coats and spindlier legs than their adult counterparts.
No, alpacas are a domesticated animal, like sheep or cattle, and are in no risk of extinction.
Well... If youre like me and you have an odd obsession over alpacas, every thing is attractive about them.
I am not sure about that :)
Alpacas feel like really fuzzy dogs sort of. You can compare them to a giant teddy bear but they are really soft and furry and they feel warm as well.
It does depend what your horse and/or alpaca can put up with and what their temperament is like but you can. Alpacas can get along with any livestock.
There are suri alpacas, which have what I call dreadlocks, that hang down in little ringlets, and there are huakaya (I think it's said like wakaya), which have fleece (alpaca hair) like a teddy bear, all fluffed out and everything.
Yes they can but they like to eat everything
warm weather
Alpacas are very curious animals. They will not hesitate to approach a human even within a foot, but they will be hesitant about allowing themselves to be touched until you have earned their trust. They are very social and tend to stick with other alpacas.
Some collective nouns for alpacas are an inflation of alpacas, others are a flock or a herd of alpacas.
No, Alpacas have spines.
