About this book

As well as being adorable animals with a thick, warm fleece, llamas and alpacas are also intelligent, discerning, curious and sociable. In addition, they are docile, gentle and easily trained. Natural grazers and browsers, they keep down hedges and pastures, they rarely challenge even the most pathetic fencing unless they are frightened, or in love. They require very little supplementary feed, live outside all year round, are generally hardy, healthy and happy.

Not surprisingly, many people are intrigued by llamas and alpacas and wonder what it would be like to keep them. Are they difficult to look after? How much land do they need? Can you mix them with other stock? Do they kick, bite or spit?

All of these questions and many other questions are answered in this book, whuch is written and packed full of advice and information.
