Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jill Bergman and I wanted to tell you a few things about Alpacas. Alpacas are, have no defenses, so they tend to be pack animals, and they cannot really be left alone. They will be stressed out too much if they are left alone. So if you want to have Alpaca, you need to have at least two Alpacas. So one Alpaca is really not a possibility, you really need to have two. Like even now she doesn't like being out here alone with just us. She would be much better off if I had another Alpaca in my other arm over here, so she would know that she was in this with another of her own kind. But, they are very gentle, very easy to manage animals, and very sensitive to the lead. I don't have to do much with this lead to tell her what I want her to do, and she will definitely do exactly what I want her to do, wont you?"
