Camping Tips

UNDER CONSTRUCTIONS

When camping with llamas there are many things a person needs to know and work out for their own and the animals safety and comfort.

One thing to think about before leaving home, such as; How will you keep the animals in camp with your while you are sleeping? What food will you carry for your llama to eat? What if it rains? What if the llama is injured? Do you want the llamas to wear bells? How big of a bell?

KEEPING THE LLAMAS IN CAMP OVERNIGHT

There a few ways to keep your llamas in camp overnight. How much room for camping your group has will make a difference in your choices.

You can High tie your llamas, or tie to a stake if you only have one or two llamas.

There are kits available that include wires for fencing and batteries to hot wire the fence. You can also put a little kit together on your own. Most llamas will respect a two wire line small fence. I would however to try this at home a couple of times, once at night, before trying to keep the llamas in it over night in a strange place you call "camp".

FEEDING YOUR LLAMAS ON AN OVERNIGHT CAMPING TRIP

LLAMA BELLS

What are Llama Bells? Llama Bells are bells you attach to your llamas collar or halter for hiking and/or for camp. The idea is that the bells will ring on the trail, moving wildlife away from you and your animals.

In camp, overnight, the llamas wear bells so that you can hear where they are. You can hear if the animals are startled and or running away.

DID YOU KNOW?

Do NOT leave a halter on a Llama. Leaving a halter on a llama can cause wet area under the halter causing a sore know as a "Hot Spot" that is painful for the animal and if not catch early the nose area may grow into the halter.
