Re: [AlpacaTalk] The wacky writer again-- tucking alpacas in
We don't tuck alpacas in for the night. most farms don't close them in
barns at night either. They can go without pelleted feed for a day.
Many farms feed nothing but hay and free choice minerals, and water. At
our farm we have hay boxes that hold full bales that are refilled as
needed, usually once a week. If your fictional protagonist goes away
for the day, hr alpacas will do fine.
