If you visit our farm, or other alpacas, it is helpful to know how to politely pet alpacas. Because they are grazers and often prey animals, they can be shy and wary of being touched or cornered.
Here are our tips:
1) Let them approach you.
2) Not on the head or rear. The neck is a good place to start.
3) Approach from the side so the alpaca can clearly see you coming.
4) Start with an open palm, facing towards yourself.
5) Say something nice about her fleece.
6) Do not offer the alpaca food unless you have permission from her carers.
Alpacas are very sweet, but they startle easily. Getting down to their eye-level can also help!
We think Theodora probably would have waited to roll in leaves if she'd known she was going to be on camera. Maybe.
