Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re:Alpacas and Emus
Speaking of emus..... I have 2 rescue alpacas who have beautiful fiber
but none on their legs. They hair just hangs down and the legs are
just plain
short furred, making them look a bit like 4 legged emus with furry
necks...
IS this a common breed flaw or are they chewing each others legs or is
there something else?
Thanks
Lysa
