RE: [AlpacaTalk] Van riding...

 

Well Carla!
 
Yaaa for you!! Now as far as travelling in the van...depends on how many and how far!  I travelled with two males that grew up together and they did very well for a 4 hour drive and no stops.  Now, I added a third male for a short 30 minute drive and he had a tizzy fit!  He didn't like riding in the van!  He spit on my windows and the other two boys!!!  Boy, the smell is not pleasant and I got in there with a soapy water bucket and sponge and had to clean everything!  I was lucky I had put down the spongy foam squares that lock together to cushion the floor under them.  I will not transport that one particular boy in my van again!  Now, since you have 5 or 6 you are getting...then I would certainly transport them at one time in a trailer!  One trip and no mess in your van!  The van is great for quick trips if you need to rush one for care to a vet. 
Sure wish I was close enough to sell you a few!  :)  Glad to hear there are still new people getting into raising alpacas!  You will love them!!  
 
Have fun!!

Subject: [AlpacaTalk] Van riding...

 
Hello everyone...
Still a lurker on here...but soon an owner! I'm so excited I finally told my husband...its either a pool in the back yard (which I didn't really want) or my alpacas!
Funny  when I said I wanted to rent some land close or find someone with land..he knows of a boy scout friend that raises llamas! lol...
So...my question is this...how far if any can an alpaca ride in my fold down seat van? I don't want to upset them..would a trailer be better? I want to start out with 5-6 as this wonderful friend of my husband has lots of pasture with just a couple of llamas...we have farm land about 25 miles away which my husbands uncles care for. So we will be providing the hay...
I'm so excited can you tell!
Any help on the van or advice on buying would be helpful...I have been looking at alpacanation...
Thanks
