RE: [Alpacasite] Question on Temperature Tolerance - Crias

Paul,

I have used a cria coat in situations like this. I would tend to err on the
side of caution. :)

Subject: [Alpacasite] Question on Temperature Tolerance - Crias

What is everyone's opinion on what is a reasonable temperature for a
week-old cria to be exposed to? Tonight it's supposed to reach 31 F,
very dry, some breeze but nothing major to affect the wind chill. We
have been putting mom and baby up in the barn at night the first few
nights but this is the coldest it has gotten in a week.

If you guys think I should I'll go chase/put them in for the night,
and subject myself to Medusa (not the Dam's real name) who gets
awfully perturbed when I mess with the cria :)

Thanks
