ALPACAS: Be Prepared for the Cute!

September 23, 2007. Grass Hill Alpacas in Haydenville, Massachusetts, USA. Their website is www.grasshillalpacas.com. Very nice people. Alpacas make a great investment. If you don't have the space they will board your alpacas for you. And you can visit you alpacas. A better investment than the stock market.
Baby alpacas (called crias) have got to be amongst the cutest babies on the planet. So, get ready to watch cute.
Alpacas have buckteeth. They hum. They yawn. They're curious and friendly. And they're so cute! They were constantly coming up to me while I was making this video. The little ones sit in my lap. The big ones to nuzzle my shoulder and push at me for attention. But, they don't like being petted on he neck.
Although they do spit, I wasn't spat at by any of them. I have been spat at by llamas and camels. Believe me, not fun at all. Really sticky and gross with an "Oh God, yecch!" reaction.
Google alpaca farms in your area and take your kids (an excuse to take yourself, really -- and if you don't have kids just go). Everyone I've met who raises alpacas is more than welcoming and accommodating. They love to have visitors.
And, yes, that really is that alpaca's yawn.
Have fun, Yvette.

Love this. You see other alpaca videos on the net and people are chasing them to get video or getting in their face while they are being sheered for the spit attack. I love LOVE LOVE how you treat them with respect, you don't spook them while filming, and you let them COME TO YOU. YOU ARE AMAZING. KEEP UP THE LOVING WORK.

I was so surprised by that yawn. You're right. It sounded human. Even though the cria was hiding behind it's mother, it couldn't resist poking its head around. They are incredibly curious. And friendly. They kept coming up and nudging at me. Some stood behind me and put their heads on my shoulder looking over at what I was doing. Great, great, animals. When I was sitting on the ground, some came over and sat down next to me.

Thanks Rene. I encourage everyone to find an alpaca farm and go visit it. Especially, if you have kids. These animals are gentle, friendly, curious, and fun. And they are incredibly soft to pet. And a recession proof business. Knitters will always want to buy alpaca yarn. Each baby alpaca born adds $15,000-$20,000 in value to your farm.

This (and the other) weren't my farms. But I do remember the owners saying they had regular vets. I don't think the alpacas are scared of anything. At first they were very shy with me, but they got used to me rather quickly. The young one at the beginning of the video only took a few minutes before it came over and sat in my lap. After that the adults came over and were friendly. One put it's head on my shoulder to give me a hug. They are sweet animals.

My family raise alpacas ^_^ we have a couple dozen now, they're lovely, inquisitive, somewhat shy creatures. Most of ours will shy away if you get too close, but some will let me stroke their necks and cuddle them :) Particularly Sapho, our herd-mother (first mother, oldest and gentlest) who has to be the most lovely animal I've ever encountered...

They must be in a warm climate, with the fans so loud ... alpacas are cold-weather animals, that's what grows their fleece so thick and dense ... the colder the climate, the better the fleece you will get from your herd!

Alpacas generally do not bite, their first response is usually spit, kick, or run away. They will bite each other as a herd dominance thing, but not people. They also do not have front top teeth, they have a hard bony plate instead. It generally depends on the animal where they like to be petted, many don't like their head or legs touched.

Go to a fine department store and ask to see the alpaca sweaters. That's what their outside is made of. They are shaved just like lambs are shaved and their coat spun into thread for knitting. However, alpaca yarn is much softer than lambs' wool. Their outsides are soft and cuddly. Their insides, well, not so much, regular insides.

Find an alpaca farm near you and ask if you can go visit. Best to go in July or August to when there are baby alpacas. You will have so much fun with the alpacas. They are curious, friendly, and unbelievably soft to pet.

Great video! I have to say, though, I think the bit about being petted on the neck depends on each individual personality. My bosses alpacas prefer the neck over any other part of the body; except for one of the gals. She prefers the base of the neck just above the chest floor to be scratched. You have some beautiful wool babies!!

@GruntWhacker This video is a condensation of several hours of videos. Frequently I was surrounded and they were nudging up against me wanting attention. Friendly and curious. The newborns are shy, but get over it if you do something that catches their attention. Curiosity trumps shyness. And their coats are much softer than the adults, which are pretty soft.

I agree that crias can be used as a term for other animals. However, english-speaking alpaca owners refer specifically to baby alpacas as crias. So, I'm using their terminology because organizations usually set their own terminology. For example, the Irish term for a young woman is Colleen. That doesn't stop people in this country from naming their daughter Colleen.

@TheCarolynquiroz Most of these alpaca farms sell their alpaca fiber to craftspeople who then make some of the most spectacular sweater and coats. You should google and find a local craftsperson (support your local artist) and check out their sweaters. An alpaca sweater is warm, and feels wonderful.
