When my client was telling me about the boys traveling by minivan to visit their "dates", all I could imagine was a traffic stop and trying to explain why a lama was in the back:) Brenda Piele raised a newborn in her kitchen, in a 500 crate. She bottle fed him whole cow's milk every two hours for months! She took him everywhere, and when he got too big for the crate, she took him loose in her van. I would be in the passenger seat, and he would be right behind me, playing with my hair. He had very little room for his neck, lol. I was scared spitless the whole time. We read up on llamas (eventually), and all the experts said she was doing everything wrong, (coddled llamas grow up to be "Berserkers"), very very dangerous, but they did not know my Brenda. First time he spit at her he found himself on the ground crying Uncle. Even if he was 7 feet tall. She changed tactics somewhat, and he was a very good boy most of the time. He was gorgeous. They are not pets like the cute little alpacas.
