A baby Llama is called a ‘Cria’. The mother has a gestation period of approximately 12 months.

Llamas have many uses. They make good companion/pet animals. They will guard your other livestock from predators, like feral dogs and coyotes. You can use the wool that you harvest from them for crafts. They will keep your pastures mowed. You can use them to carry a pack and take them for a hike with you. They can be trained to pull a cart. You can just enjoy working with them and watching them! See similar questions...

Our site is named for a beautiful pigeon who was called Bucky. He was an orphaned baby bird back in 1978 when we took him in and raised him, planning to set him free as soon as he was able to care for himself. Unfortunately, a defective wing prevented him from flying and safely living in the wild. So he lived with us, until his death in 1996. Because his memory and our love for him live on, we have named this website in his honor. See similar questions...

Llamas are herd animals. This means that they need to live with other llamas, or at a minimum, with other animals of about the same size and type. Llamas usually do well living with goats, sheep, horses, donkeys or other hoof stock and will adopt them and guard them as if they were llamas. We will not sell a lone llama to a new owner unless there is some other animal companion that the llama will have. If there are no other hoof stock on the property, we will sell you a pair of llamas.

in humans and many other animals, female llamas mature before the males. A female llama is generally ready to breed by the time she is 2 years old. A male llama may be ready by the time he is 2 years old, but usually he will not be a reliable breeder until he is 3 to 4 years old. See similar questions...

Any baby equine (horse, donkey, mule or zebra) is called a foal. Male foals are colts (or Jack foals in the case of donkeys), females are fillies (or jennet foals). They are grouped as "Foals" up until they are weaned, usually about 6-8 months old, then they are Weanlings. After their first birthday, they are Yearlings. They may still be called Colts or Fillies up until they are mature, usually at 3-4 years of age. See similar questions...

Pup We prefer Kit - but I suspect fox parents have their own names for their young, They've never asked us, so. You can call them Fred for all of us; it's the lexicologists who are responsible for such things in human terms. We suspect the male fox is more interested in what vixens want to call them, in any case. See similar questions...

The first intelligent squirrels were raised by their fluffy masters. Since the bunnies call their young a kit, these squirrels did likewise with their own offspring. The proper term is 'pup', but is pretty obscure. Few humans know this term, even fewer squirrels have heard it. See similar questions...

Typically a baby donkey is called a foal, for both male and female. A foal is usually under 1 year old. The word colt is used to describe a young male horse. Young male donkeys can either be referred to as a 'baby jack' or a male foal. A young female donkey can be referred to as a 'baby jenny (or jennet)' or a female foal. See similar questions...

Absolutely! We encourage people to lead a llama on our trips, especially children! Our llamas are very gentle and trustworthy, and they have not disappointed us or our guests yet. This does not mean that you have to lead a llama, it is entirely up to you whether you'd like to try it or not. We find llamas very gentle, athletic and willing to go, making them ideal trail partners. See similar questions...

Sure do ! But normally only when provoked or teased. Our Llama have only spit one or two times in 12 years, with the exception of when they get shots or their toenails trimmed. See similar questions...

Llamas are intelligent, instinctively dislike canines, and are capable of protecting a flock from some predator attacks. A tall, alert 300-pound llama can be intimidating to a coyote. Because they are ruminants, llamas can eat the same diet as a flock of sheep or goats they are guarding. They can be expensive to purchase, and in most areas vets have little experience with llamas. A guard llama should always be gelded. See similar questions...

Short answer - No, mules (both male and female) are sterile. Both have normal anatomy internally and externally. The males must be castrated, as they have the equipment but do not produce the essential element needed (we're trying to keep this PG here...) Females may come into heat and may need hormone shots if heat is a problem. For those who are following up with "Okay, what about the fertile mule we have read about..." - Fertile mules (hinnies) are a 1 in 1 million case occurance. See similar questions...
