RE: [Alpacasite] Question about hay

Jenny,

It's my experience that grass hay will have less waste.

The stalks will be left by the pacas for the most part.

It does make good bedding as you have done.

All the best!

Subj: [Alpacasite] Question about hay

Hello.

I have a question about my brome hay. I was told that the alpacas

will only eat the flowering ends and not the stalks, which when we

feed them, they have alot of stalks left over. Will they eventually

eat the stalks, or should we let them have the tops and then just get

rid of the stalks. Seems like alot of hay to get rid of since we dont

have any other types of animals here that will eat that. Some of the

stalks we put down for bedding, but we will eventually have to much

for that.

Hope someone has an answer.
