Re: [AlpacaTalk] Questions about twins

Hi Ellie,

Twins are not all that common. I have heard that
female twins are not reproductively sound, but if you
have a boy and girl, you are okay.

We have not used just goat milk, because its a bit on
the bitter side. We use whole, raw goat milk, whipping
cream and organic vanilla yogurt for our alpacas. We
had a cria whose mom rejected her a few years back and
she took this recipe for 5 months. I was using plain
yogurt at first, but then she started refusing it so I
switched to vanilla. She sucked it down so fast!
