Feeding time

Llamas are incredibly efficient grazers and, on the whole, shouldn't need much in the way of food supplements. Ours have constant access to good, dry hay and their pasture is more than a match for their appetites. Due to the history of lead mining in the area, however, the grass has a copper deficiency. Because of this, every now and then we give our llamas a small amount of specialist camelid supplement, usually as a reward when they've been out. They really enjoy it and here they are, behaving very calmly and politely!
