Our baby alpaca was born on the first day of spring! His mom is a beautiful Suri alpaca named Snowflake. Baby alpacas are so adorable and fun to watch- I get absolutely nothing done :) Enjoy! I am working on more baby alpaca videos, so if you are interested, please subscribe and enjoy them. They give me such joy and I love sharing them with you.

Raise Alpacas with Love: Desensitizing Crias for Toe Nail Trimming Alpaca care doesn't need to be hard ;) This is how I start desensitizing crias for toenail trimming. I stay in front of them and clip a little bit as they let me. Since most of them do not have long toenails at this point, I am mostly making them comfortable with the sensation of the trimmer on their toenails. So you can just tap their nails if there is nothing to trim. I have treats and move them around to help reposition them as needed. I do not restrain them and will let them walk away if they do not want to be trimmed that day. I use a goat hoof trimmer for my alpacas. You can touch the toenails and stabilize them as well but as soon as you touch their feet with your hands, they will instinctively want to lift their leg and make it difficult to trim. My alpaca farm, Wisteria Suri Ranch, is in Taylor, Texas. We raise suri alpacas and I've been an alpaca shepherdess since 2008 :) We love to handle our alpacas gently and always treat them with love and respect. Let me know if you have questions!
