Forgot to mention the incident with the girls on Wednesday evening. Had to give Inky her lamivac which has to be injected into the skin, this means trying to find some loose skin on an alpaca - well there isn't any! Chris was holding her still ,after he had been spat and squealed at several times. I was desperately trying to find any skin under all the fibre, let alone loose skin conscious that Chris could only hold her for so long. Anyway finally got it done, hopefully in the right place, and Inky was eating her tea as soon as we had let her go, so no stress on her part, which is what we worry about the most - the same could not be said for the humans.
To add to our discomfort we decided to trim one of the crias around the rear end as looking a bit messy with straw etc. so Chris caught her, he's stronger than me, I bent down to trim the offending area and whollop, kicked straight in the throat making me choke and Chris let go of cria who ran off a little way then turned and looked at me as if to say 'that'll teach you not to stand there'. She's right of course, will be more careful next time.
Honestly animals are so ungrateful - why do we do it?
