Yes I had a feeling the 'smiles' were because of their natural mouth shape. But it does make them look happy! So I hope they will stop humming soon, and relax when they begin to get used to their new place, and their new friends.
They are really adorable. I hadn't really seen very much of Alpacas before, so am looking forward to more pictures perhaps in the future -or news of them (and little 'crias'!)
If they were sheared for their own well-being during hot weather, then I suppose there would be no harm in making use of their wool. It could be skeined and dyed bright colours, and beautiful rugs could be made! But it might take a while to get enough wool!
I once knew a woman who had a dog whom she brushed regularly. She collected all the dog hair, and wove it together with her own sheeps' wool, to make sweaters! She had bags full of dog hair! She had a spinning-wheel to make the thread.
