🦙Backyard Alpacas🦙
The exotic pet you didn't know you wanted
Having a pet can be beneficial to your health, help you form
relationships, and keep you from being lonely. It is estimated that
over two-thirds of Americans own at least one pet. Some of the most
popular pets in America include dogs, cats, fish, and hamsters among
many others. Although these are some of the more traditional pets,
the term ‘pets’ is interpreted differently by everybody. If you’re
looking for something a little different, a good option for you
might be to buy an alpaca. A well cared for alpaca is a great animal
to have as a pet. In general, they are loveable creatures and
extremely soft to the touch. While alpacas can make great pets,
always remember they need plenty of space to roam in, so it’s
important you have space to comfortably house one. On top of this,
alpacas are social, herd animals, so, it’s a good idea to get more
than one—preferably two or three if not more. Alpacas are legal in
all 50 U.S. states, so you won’t need any special permits to obtain
one.
