Re: [AlpacaTalk] wall baby
Well, the last female I got from this dam needed lots of human contact, too, and she is wild and crazy. Sigh.
I think I got baby to nurse off mom but it's hard to tell if she got anything. It sounded like it, but there was no milk mouth afterward.
She was born well before 8am, and it's now 6pm. No considerable nursing off mom yet. She's had 12 ounces of cow milk and yogurt with 10 drops of GSE since she's been eating dirt.
Going back down now to milk out mom and at least get the colostrum into her via bottle if necessary. She took the bottle very well, and likes fenceposts, but gets angry when we put her under mama.
In 11 years with alpacas, we've never had a wall baby. Not fun.

Sounds like you might have a tamer alpaca baby in the long run! Hope it all works out, she'll figure it out. Is she drinking from mom?SUSAN OLSONAlpaca LocoRiverside, CA
