Can I get pet llamas!
My dream in life has been to have llamas! I visit them often and love being around them. I’ve looked into care and think I am capable.
The hold up is I do t want to do it if it will be unfair to them. I do not have a farm I have 0.75 acres. The picture is my yard and it goes further into woods. My plan would be to fence in the whole property to give them max space, then get just three so they can pack but not over crowd. The internet says and acre per llama but it sounds like that’s more for grass, I don’t mind supplying hay for them.
Secondly, would they f up my yard? I know things like bushes will need to be fenced off but would they chew on a swing set or similar things (I’ve had goats and know they would but llamas aren’t like that correct?).
They would be for no purpose other than for me to give them a good life and my families enjoyment so they should have lots of interaction.
Just checking if this was crazy!
Thanks!!
