Lhamas as pets

Llamas as Pets is a one-stop shop book for everything Llama related. If you are considering owning or have already acquired one of these domesticated, South American Camelids, this book is definitely for you.

Widely used as a pack animal since the pre-Columbian era, and prized as both a meat source and for their soft and lanolin-free fleece, these social animals like to live in a herd and although considered by most as livestock, they have very special needs.

Llamas are quickly turning heads in the agricultural corners of the world with their unique look and low impact on the landscape and because of their larger size, which can be intimidating to many predators; they are often used as guard animals within different livestock herds.

While intelligent, cute and cuddly looking, with the ability to learn simple tricks and tasks, the Llama is not like any livestock you may have previously experienced, and you certainly don't want to get in the way of an angry 400 pound (181 kg) Llama.

Within the pages of this book you will find out how to properly raise and care for this very interesting camelid species, including: - Accessories- Behavior- Bonding- Breeding- Care- Common ailments- Costs- Day to day care- Enclosure- Facts- Feeding- Grooming- Health- History- Husbandry- Hygiene- Legalities- Must have's- Play and exercise- Responsible ownership- Training- Travelling- Vaccinations.... and much more
