Very clever and tidy of the alpacas to deposit their droppings neatly. If only I could teach that trick to the guinea pigs. It certainly would make cleaning up much easier. Could the alpacas teach this to the sheep? Or am I dreaming.
I love the colours of the alpaca wool. Is it always used naturally or do they dye it. It would be beautiful wool. Could you find a spinner who would spin the wool and share it with you.
I always wanted to learn to spin. I have "hand spun" little bits of wool to use in craft projects. I have read about it, but I still want to try it.
The sheep accept the alpacas now and treat them as "different but not a danger". Some of the lambs, bless them, go up and sniff the alpacas.
No, I doubt whether the sheep will ever learn to deposit their droppings in one place like the alpacas. That would indeed be a dream!
We may look into finding a spinner, but I doubt if we will have the time. It is easier to give the wool away.
