Re: [Alpacasite] Re: Showing Juveniles without removal of amniotic cria fleece

We have a couple that lick too (nice, non-spitty paca kisses). I believe what Steve means is that alpacas don't lick their young clean like a cat or dog may do for their babies. I've seen a dam give a few licks, but nothing that comes close to cleaning off the membrane. We've also ended up blowdrying all our crias except for one. Oh well....

Steve - I beg to differ. I have posted a photo taken by one of my
clients with my favorite female, Eclipse. All I have to do is "ask"
and she licks my face. She did lick her cria when it was born, as well.

Enjoy the photo ..
