Welcome to our fam vlog! It's been only one night since we rescued a newborn orphaned baby alpaca. And the care continues! She is adjusting to the bottles and new spaces. And needs her umbilical hernia banded. Our mentor comes for a visit to assess the orphaned baby alpaca and the rest of our herd. Nicole is a felt artist and this week she makes a felt beret and a hat from alpaca fiber. Plus we wean our 6 month old baby alpacas. And transition our cria herd to a new large outdoor play space and watch them play and run!
