    Thank you for this video. This actually stopped me from buying one because of how much care they need. I'm not in a position to take care of one this much yet. Just really happy I took the time to find your video. Thank you again.

    +Happy Tails You have an amazing videos! I am from Czech republic and I am planing to start an Alpaca herd (a small one up to 10 Alpacas) and your videos really help me to gather information and insight on how it works. Please please do more videos on alpacas and how to take care of them, make friends with them and perhaps some shearing videos... :) I would like to know why male and female alpacas cannot be kept together? does it mean that even if we would have one male and two females, the male would still have to be alone in his own fenced yard?

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi thank you so much! I will work on making more videos about alpacas. Males and females cannot be kept together because they will breed and the male will harass the female. Unlike other animals, alpacas do not have a heat cycle. They will actually ovulate in the presence of a male. If kept with a male they will ovulate immediately and become pregnant. Once they are pregnant the male will continue to try to breed with them and this can cause a miscarriage.

    • @terezavokata7227
      @terezavokata7227 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for such a fast response! No keeping of male and females in one yard! thank you so much!

    What kind of fleece quality do you usually produce? Does the higher copper intake effect it?

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Most all other farms feed more copper than I do. I'm assuming you've been told that goat food has more copper? Dont take someone at their word. Read the bags. Alpaca food has more copper than some goat feeds.

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +tal miz they can make good therapy animals if they have a lot of training and the personality for it since they need to be able to have lots of people petting them. They are more difficult to have as therapy animals because they need a trailer to be transported and since they are large they might have difficulty going into some hospital rooms. But I have seen a few of them online going into hospitals and nursing homes and of course the patients seem to really like it because it's something different. Do you volunteer with Therapy animals?

    Do they like to be sheared. Is it comfortable for them? How bout shaving down their teeth. Do they have nerve endings like us? Do they get numbed?

    • @HappyTailsAnimals
      @HappyTailsAnimals  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes they feel very good to have all the hair taken off. When was the last time you had your teeth cut down? If they had teeth like us humans, they wouldn't be getting shaved down.

      Just because an animal can swim, doesn't mean they want to. Why do you want to make them swim? Is it only for your own enjoyment? If so that is not a good reason.

      +Kallie Rogers it really just depends on the person. Llamas are much bigger animals. Llamas also do not produce a profit like alpacas because the hair is not the same quality.
