Our lovely, smoochy Magic (or Maggi Noodles as he'd affectionately become known), went to his new home on Saturday.

As a little guy I trained Magic to walk on a lead and taught him to get in and out of the back seat of our Mazda hatchback. It seemed like a good idea at the time, he was only about 6 months old. He still only just fit in there then though, as he had a huge fleece on him and he's not what you'd call a compact alpaca

Alpaca Update

June 6th 2009 01:28

Been away for a while, but I noticed that Alpaca Notes hasn't disappeared off the radar, so I thought I'd drop in with an update.

We lost our lovely Daizi. Not sure what happened, just went out one morning and found her lying dead in the paddock. Very sad, as she was an alpaca I really liked, I could cuddle her and she'd come up and cluck at me like she clucked at her crias

So what’s bad about having alpacas?

July 6th 2008 08:18

There’s not much that’s bad about having alpacas. OK, picking up alpaca poo is a bit of a chore, but that can all go on the garden and it grows lovely plants and veggies for you.

Shearing day is pretty arduous and can leave you feeling stiff and sore from ~~man~~ person handling pacas and sorting all that fleece (particularly if you’re a bit of a sloth who doesn’t do much exercise

Skinny Girls

June 30th 2008 03:40

I’ve decided to wean Emily off Alice. Emily’s six months old now and she’s a big girl, so well and truly able to survive without her mum now.

What colour?

May 25th 2008 23:30

If you’re registering alpacas you need to state what colour they are. The AAA (Australian Alpaca Association) has a chart with 12 colours on it and you need to pick the closest to the colour of the alpaca you’re registering.

Alpaca Associations

May 7th 2008 22:18

In Australia, there are currently two main alpaca associations you can join, the Australian Alpaca Association (AAA) and the Australasian Alpaca Breeders Association (AABA).

The AAA was the first alpaca association set up and maintains a register of alpacas called the International Alpaca Register (IAR). AABA also has a register which is called the Australasian Alpaca Register (AAR

More Mating Madness

April 22nd 2008 04:29

Well, Ginger’s still not pregnant, nor is Maddy. Cappy had a great time with Ginger yesterday. I didn’t have my watch on, but it seemed like he was there for an extraordinarily long time, much longer than his usual 20 minutes.

Preg Test – Negative & Positive

March 20th 2008 00:19

Madeline sat when I put her in with Cappy yesterday, which means she’s probably not pregnant. If she were pregnant, she would have spat at him and run away. I had to get him off her quickly (he’s her dad and we don’t want to go there). He chased a couple of the other girls for a while, then happily, big old Ginger sat, so he still got to have some fun.
