Welcoming Home A New Llama

Help us welcome home our new llama, Turk! In this video we go over everything you need to think about when brining home a new llama. Turk is going to be living with a herd of cows as a protector. Its typical for guardian llamas to live without other llamas, allowing them to form a stronger bonds with their herd. Llamas are social animals. Isolated camelids lead lonely lives, give them some animal friends.
He'll spend some time getting acclimated in his pen before we turn him out to larger areas. He and nana have some getting use to each other to do.

Right? I was volunteering at the Humane Society, and after a month, I thought to myself, "I've gone 30 days without adopting anyone! I think I will reward myself with a cat!" But not for me- I got a bestie for my male tuxedo cat who was always try8ng to snuggle with my tiny female tuxedo, but she had a much larger space bubble, and he needed a kitty wife.

My wife also sometimes brings home animals when she feels stressed. We have 7 cats now. It’s been a tough year.

@chrisjung9563 Жыл бұрын

I was thinking about the same thing. Part of proper care is to provide for an animal's social needs. Llamas are not solitary animals and to truly thrive, really do need companionship.

@rightchoiceshearing Жыл бұрын

I explain in the description that he’s a guardian for livestock. It’s by design for them to bond with their herd. Finding companions for llamas isn’t an easy task to begin with and the wrong llama combo is bad bad bad for the all involved. If another llama comes into our life that needs a home, I’m open to help them too. For now, it’s Turk and his calves. 🤘🏻

@robertalynch5433 Жыл бұрын

I was thinking he needed a buddy too, but calves make wonderful companions.

@thomasmleahy6218 Жыл бұрын

@@rightchoiceshearing What calves are you talking about? Has he got a"job" protecting calves? Can we see them? This should make for interesting interplay. Loved the chat over coffee about the pen, kinda reminded me of the Lone Ranger/Tonto joke, 'What you mean We, kimo sabe?' Haha. And did you say you had a dog??

@susancanavespe5217 11 ай бұрын

He’ll be happy with calves. Llamas mate by kneeling, so if you come out some morning and Turk has got some calf pinned to the ground, don’t be alarmed.

Congratulations! Llamas are amazing animals. Having raised my own llama herd and rescued many more over the last 24 years, I hope yo don’t mind a few suggestions. First,Turk should to be gelded unless you’re planning on using him for breeding. After he’s gelded, he needs a llama friend. His companion should be another gelding. Look for a mild mannered friend for him. Please don’t put him with female llamas. Because of his age, it’s likely he would continue to try and mount a female even after being gelded. Best of luck. Llamas are incredible animals.
