    Can you have llamas as pets? What are some uses for them?

    You can have them as pets if you have enough land for them. They are great for hiking with, and THEY carry the packs, not you! In fact, a lot of people who own llamas start out getting one or two (two is better, they are VERY social animals) for packing.

    You can also comb out their wool and card it, spin it, and knit with it. I've done that some.

    To find out more, go up to that first link under LLama LLinks and if you click through you can download the book I wrote, Living with Llamas. It's free now; we sold it for many years.

    Interesting lens. I think llamas are beautiful as well as cute. Love the story about the llama spitting at the photographer and reporter -- very humorous, and I was surprised to learn they had existed in North America. I'm sure if I lived in a rural area and had the means I'd have a couple. It would be fascinating to get to know what they're like in person.

    They have a lot of personality, and they are as varied as we humans are! For example, our Posey was flighty and aloof while our L'il Bit would come right up to anyone.

I used to raise llamas and have written a lot about them.
