Re: [AlpacaTalk] pregnancy testing

 

Oh yes, it does sound like hid girlfriend is pregnant. :)


And yes, sometimes they just don't like someone else. It's not very common, but it does happen. It could also be that if your male was in with the matriarch when he was younger, and while she was pregnant, he learned not to mess with her at all. That kind of conditioning is hard to overcome.

So we put my matriarch in with the male for the past week. He has no 
interest in her whatsoever, yet is pacing the fence to get to his 
girlfriend. I don't understand? My matriarch is about 10/11yo and 
hasn't been pregnant in 3 yrs (since Charlie Brown passed). I wanted 
to get another baby, at least one more from her before she is too old. 
What could be going on here?

The male has been separated from the females for the past year +; the 
other female of suitable age accidently got into his pasture one night 
about 2 mos ago. We didn't see any mating, but could only assume. So 
after giving up on the matriarch I let this other female - his favorite, 
in the pasture with him also. My goodness, he was RIGHT THERE, didn't 
take him 2 min to start trying to mount her and she was spitting him off 
like crazy. It took 2 of us to pull him off her and get her out of there.

So I take that to mean she is preg!? Oh boy, another winter baby - 
just what I have been trying to avoid :-(.

Are they really that particular and have their favorites and others 
there are just "not that into"?
