⭐️Throwback Thursday⭐️

Did you know I used to be a zookeeper before starting All Things Alpaca??

🦏Now, whilst I didn't get to work with the rhino, I was very lucky to get up close to this gorgeous greater one horned rhino whilst working at Whipsnade Zoo.

❓️Did you know they have prehensile upper lips? This helps them to grab at low hanging browse. Our alpacas also have this amazing adaptation, helping them to grasp at the grass when grazing!

💜Got to boop that snoot, right?💜

Wowser, that was a very busy start to the summer holidays!

💜We had so much fun today, alpaca trekking, feeding the alpacas, cuddling the baby goats, brushing the goats, and grooming the donkeys - the animals and I had a fab time💜

🥰Don't forget that if you've visited us, you could really help a small business out by leaving us a review on Facebook, Google, or TripAdvisor. A few minutes of your time can really boost the business and make a crazy alpaca lady very happy!

🥨🎉Happy 3rd Birthday, Pretzel!🎉🥨

Honestly, this boy has brought so much joy to me. He's a big d***y lawnmower, and he loves nothing more than to EAT!!

He came out on a trek today with the public and was fantastic. He's slowed down now, so you can tell he's really enjoying the treks rather than rushing around them.

🎊Help me wish our gorgeous suri boy a very happy 3rd birthday!🎊

So after much deliberation, I have decided to name the male kid .....

🎉Jasper🎉

💙He is very cheeky and cuddly and it just seems to fit him. We tried calling him a few other names over the last couple of days but nothing seemed to stick💙

🔸️Jasper and Pippa are currently still in the barn with Mum Jessie and Nanny Layla. I am hoping to get them out in the goat paddock for the weekend but will keep an eye on the weather🔸️

‼️Pygmy Pals slots will be released tomorrow where you can have an intimate 10 minutes in with our goat kids, getting up close for a cuddle. There will be limited availability each day so the kids do not get stressed or over handled‼️

🐹It's Guinea Pig Appreciation Day!🐹

💜We love our little squeakers here at All Things Alpaca. We have 10 girls and 1 neutered male and most of them are rescue/rehome piggies💜

Do you have pet guinea pigs? If so, what are their names?

So here's something to make you laugh after sadly losing the Euros last night....

Today, I took the two baby goats to the vets to get disbudded, health checked, and microchipped.. only to be told within seconds of looking at them... that Poppy (brown and white) is a BOY 🤣🙈

Epic failure on my part - I've been really hands off with Jessie's twins, leaving her to do what she needs to do, only giving them a quick glance when they were born and spraying their navels with iodine. The vet explained that sometimes the boys don't drop their testicles till a few days later... but I think she was just being kind 🤣

💙So now we are a bit stuck! We need a name for the little boy, and we'd love to hear your suggestions. There is no real theme this year, so give us your best boy names!💙

The moral of the story....should have gone to specsavers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

🙈Eekk.. I've finally taken the plunge and put the business on TripAdvisor! This is quite a scary thing, as tripadvisor is such a big platform

💜I'd love it if any of my previous trekkers, junior farmers, school groups, sen groups, and animal experience visitors could get onto it and leave us a review!💜

👀Please follow the link in the comments (FB) or in our bio (Insta) to leave us a review. You guys are always so supportive, so a big thank you!

💜Poppy and Pippa are doing really well and they are both getting stronger and learning how to jump and play. You can see them in the barn, but please make sure you are nice and quiet💜

🔸️Please note our goat kids are currently not included in any of our goat experiences, but keep an eye out for our Pygmy Pals that will be returning soon🔸️

11/07/2024

I have the absolute pleasure of introducing you to Jessie's beautiful twin girls. Born on Monday morning, they have been tucked away in the barn, keeping dry and warm along with Layla.

🌺We have decided to name the little brown and white girl Poppy and the little black and white girl Pippa (named after the Lathcoats Farm's little girl who lives on the farm)🌺

💜The girls have been doing really well and we will have the barn open tomorrow to view them. Please remember to keep nice and quiet and not to bang on the gate and hurdles💜

🐷A little look back at when our three little piggies arrived back in February. It's hard to believe they've been with us 5 months now! It will be their 1st birthdays in August - do you think we should throw them a little party?🐷

🥨Pretzel Update🥨

So, with the sad news of Layla's loss yesterday, I have some great news to share with you regarding our new boy, Pretzel!

Pretzel is now ready to be walked by the public - we will only be allowing adult trekkers to walk him to start with (as he is quite strong and a little bit more unpredictable than the others) but I have every confidence that children will be able to walk him soon!

🦙This means our alpaca trekking capacity has increased to 8 alpacas, just in time for the summer (if the sun decides to grace up with its presence!)🦙

🥨So, who's looking forward to trekking with Pretzel?!🥨

It is with a heavy heart that I share some sad news with you all.

On Tuesday 2nd July, Layla, the pygmy goat, went into labour, and sadly, due to difficulties, both her kids did not survive.

Animal care always has its ups and downs, and this certainly did shake me. A big thank you to Westpoint Farm Vets for all of their advice and help. It's amazing to have vets on hand who are always so helpful and caring.

💜Layla herself is doing well and is back in with the main herd as we didn't want her to get too stressed out💜

We still have Jessie to give birth, so fingers crossed it all goes smoothly🤞

Don't let Hump Day get you down!

🦙Did you know alpacas are part of the camel family? They love a carrot just as much as my boys!

🐫This lovely girl is one of the camels that lives over at Jimmy's Farm who I had the pleasure of meeting at a friend's wedding!
