Welcome to the podcast for alpaca people!
In this episode, I continue reflecting on the cria birthing season and how we can be prepared.
This includes talking to some people, including your vet, reading up and taking some courses - probably too late for this season, but there is always next year.
Birthing kits
I talked about them in some previous episodes. Check out:
- Episode 13 – Topical Alpaca Tips with Steve Heatherington
- Episode 22 – Expect the unexpected with Steve Heatherington
- Episode 24 – Jenny MacHarg part 2
Homestead Farm Supplies offers a kit to buy off the shelf. If you are not in the UK it is still worth a look to see what they include.
Courses and books
Claire Whitehead of UK Alpaca Vets offers a birthing course earlier in the year.
ABC - Antenatal, Birthing and Cria care is a good starter book, published in Australia
Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoyed it.
