Eggquisite Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Hi fellow Omleteers, Nearly twelve months after getting our first 5 Alpaca's all of which were boys - we have now moved onto a farm & after more training courses & learning as much as we can we took the plunge & bought two pregnant Alpaca's at the end of December who both arrived with us back in January Our first Cria is due on the 12th March & the 2nd on the 17th March - so they really could arrive any day now These will be our first & we're soooooo excited not to mention a little scared too.. hopefully everything will go ok. Fingers crossed the weather is kind to us.. hopefully soon we'll have two heathy Cria's 'pronking' around enjoying the spring sunshine (yippee spring is almost with us too ) Bye for now...

mollyripkim Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Wow how exciting, hope the births go well. Do you know what colours to expect? Guessing it's dependent on mum and dads colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggquisite Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 What a day.... Deciding to take a break from the 'pooper scooping' chores we stopped for a cuppa.. before starting again we strolled over to the girls paddock & on doing so noticed one of our girls seemed a little restless... At 12.21 with the sunshine blazing down - it was time for our first baby cria to come into the world.. by 12.36 & after a text book birthing & out popped Barnaby Just taking a rest after coming into the world.. My first steps.. Getting ready for bedtime... What an amazing experience to watch unfold before our eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eggquisite Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Thanks everyone for your kind comments - we now have our latest addition to the family (no more this year) 'Buttons' arrived on Monday 4th April, she is such a cutie & Barnaby is loving having a little half sister to play with Buttons a few hours old.. Taken this morning enjoying the sunshine.. Barnaby posing for the camera.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Having stroked some at the Moreton Show, I can confirm that they are very soft, but quite shy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggquisite Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Claret, you're absolutely right they are quite shy creatures but with a very nosy nature The Cria's coats are simply the softest we have ever felt - we're hoping for good things from them in the future Just need to agree on a company name - that seems the hardest bit!
