Re: [AlpacaTalk] RE: female acting funny

 

Your girl may very well be pregnant, and if the male is used to being pastured with her, and he knows that he bred her, you're right, he is likely not to even try to breed. He has learned his manners. Most people keep their males separated from females after they're weaned, and so they never learn how to act around girls. (Sounds like a lot of humans!) They think that if they are put in with a female, it's time to breed, at all costs!

You'll probably just have to wait and see. :) And if she does deliver a cria, don't let the male in with the dam until you WANT to breed them, so you'll avoid winter births.

it works for you. Also, I would tend to agree with Carolyn's
suggestion to put them together in a pen, which also helps make the
male's job easier so he doesn't have to chase her so strenuously, and
giving him a better chance of success. Sometimes guys need a little
boost in their confidence. *grin*>>>

Oh Rebecca that is TOO funny. Unfortunately I don't have a cell phone 
that will download ringtones or I would do it!

I put them in a small pen yesterday. The male was the first one to 
spit! Female kinda sniffing ground around where he was laying. Then 
she spit back.....but I don't think that counts as "spitting off" lol. 
I left them there for an hour or more. Nothing. when I went to get her 
they both had their pouty faces on.

I always thought that if the female was preg the males knew and were not 
interested? 

Thanks! Janice in
