Llama quetions?

Question

i was wondering wat people thought about llamas

person with most detail gets the points!

Answer 1

My grandfather raised them for a living so i have had a lot of contact. I think they are great animals, you just need to let it get to know you. They are quite skiddish among strangers and even their owners if they are not paid attention to. They are pretty easy to clean up after since the excrete and they dont really need much grooming. They dont really jump to high to my knowlege so you dont need to have extra high fences. They are also relativley quiet.  I would suggest getting leopard llamas, i suggest them because that is what my grandfather raised and i neither him or I ever had one spit. They are supposedly famous for spitting and nobody ever saw any of them spit,  of course he had camels too and he never had a problem. I guess it is all about how you treat them and their temperment. Some of the  downsides  are the space and shelter needed to have a happy llama and the fact that they kick. We have a great pic of my grandfather with a HUGE black eye from being kicked in the face! Luckily they dont kick as hard as horses or donkeys. Kicking is also rare. I am sure you can go on the internet and find where breeders are listed and rated. Reading reviews of the llamas will probably be the best tool for you if you decide to get one. Temperment is very important.
