Is that me you are talking about, Little Blue

I have Robbie, a two year old male.  Looking for a reasonablly priced female for him.

But of course!!
The kids at work think its great I know someone with a llama, theres some weird website with a 'llama song' and pictures that they were mad for a while back!!

Robbie could have his own fan club   I have lost count of how many hikers have taken his pic ....he was in the local paper with the conservative councillor who was on a walk of the area.  He had the slogan about a constituant eating out of his hand as he fed Robbie with grass.

Its quite amusing listening to people going by - some have no idea what he is.  A very large goat one party decided he was, and he has also been a camel .......then a large deer!!!

First time i saw llamas was on the cliff tops in Dorset about 25 years ago. I was walking with some friends and none of us said anything for a while as we all thought we were seeing things. When we finally cracked and admitted to seeing some mighty funny sheep we had to turn back and have a good look at them.

Some years ago, we took my Mum out for a drive.  We passed a farm with two brown llamas in the field.  Mum shrieked that she had just seen two brown camels, and we had to turn back so she could have a proper look at the "camels!"

There are llamas on a particularly bad bend in our village.  It amazes me that there has never been an accident they have almost become a tourist attraction.

Even just thinking about llamas makes me smile... reading those post made me laugh out loud.  I dont know why llamas should be be so funny!!

When I had my zoo I used to raise llamas and alpacas. I'll see if I have any photos of them.

Oh Cameron, what a brillaint birthday present, to have a llama!!  Now, now of your friends will have such an exotic present on their birthday, will they?

[CameronS]

What sort of things for stimulation should i provide for it, will it be happy with the goats?

[Roxy]

Robbie, my llama is in with the goats, a little pony, and a pet sheep.  When he first arrived, he chased them all round the field, and they ran very fast as they did not know what he was.  And because he was excited, he hummed, which made the other animals run faster.

I don't give Robbie any thing to amuse him - he seems to amuse himself. Llamas are very inquisitive, and if he sees anything happen on the lane, he is by the wall very fast.  We call him Mr Nosey!!! 

[little blue]

I'm still laughing... just fancy, a running humming llama!!

I have Llamas too

I have Monty (Entire male) and Inca (Female) and their beautiful daughter Tia who is around two months old.
I also have Humphrey (Entire male) and Karma (Female) who will too soon be expecting a little cria of their own! They are joys to keep, and so interesting to watch.
The photo is Inca - Mum and the little cria Tia.
Monty the dad is halter trained and enjoys the occasional walk, although none of the Llamas enjoy the annual injections - plenty of spit goes around.

Thanks, Elliott
