Alpaca Christmas Ornaments

December 1st 2009 23:43
I've been designing some cool Chrissy ornaments with photos of my alpacas. I've done some round ones and also oval-shaped ones. They're working out really well too as I have lots of close-up shots and they look great on the ornaments.

On alpaca meat and cannibalism

I read a book a few years ago “The Last Tribes on Earth” by Paul Raffaele, in which he journeys deep into the jungles of Papua to meet the Korowai people. They have been living happily in the jungles for thousands of years and they have no qualms about eating humans.

I bought this CD a while back and really like it. It's a music CD from the Mind, Body & Soul series. I'm building quite a collection of these kinds of things, but this is one I've happily got my money's worth from.

Protexin – for the slops

May 1st 2008 00:57
This is going to be an incredibly boring post for 99.9% of the people in the world today. HOWEVER, there is probably a person out there in the world (or even maybe two) who have an alpaca, or a pig, goat, chicken, horse or dog, with the slops. And if you’ve ever had an animal with the slops, you’ll appreciate that this post may be very useful for them.

This is about a product called Protexin which is a multi-strain probiotic, useful in the treatment of scours in animals. Scours is another name for the slops - or diarrhoea if you want to get technical

Is what I call my manure machine. Its correct name is a Greystone Yard Vac and it sucks up the alpaca poo out in the paddocks.

We did toenails on Saturday. Here’s a tip: When cutting alpaca toenails, plan to do it after it has been raining.

After rain, it’s a bit like how your nails are softer after a bath or shower. Same with alpacas when they’ve been walking about on wet ground

The Mallon halter was developed by a well known trainer of alpacas and llamas, John Mallon. John has made a number of DVD’s on alpaca/llama handling.

There are quite a few different types of alpaca halter out there on the market. Which you buy and use depends largely on your own personal preferences, the local availability and of course, your budget.

We’ve tried a few different types over the years and there are two types which get used around here (while the others lay collecting dust in the back of the tack cupboard
