what type of llamas make good pets?!?

Answer 1

Any llama that has been handled properly and trained well will make a wonderful and unique pet. Geldings (neutered males) are probably the best choice for a pet llama. Llamas that are aggressive or spit at people have usually been mishandled at one time or another. For a person that doesn't want to spend a lot of time grooming, a light or standard wool llama is a better choice. Medium wool llamas require a moderate amount of grooming and heavy wool llamas require quite a bit of grooming. Before the age of about 6 months, llamas should not be handled excessively by humans and should be allowed to just learn how to be a llama. This is the time when they learn a lot from their mother and other herd members. Llamas who are handled too much or mistreated at a young age are often the ones that tend to grow up to be pushy (like the ones that mob you for food at the petting zoos) and aggressive towards people. It's OK to start training them at a very young age, but it's very important not to overhandle them. We start vigorous training with ours at around 6 months of age. Llamas are quick learners and by repitiion will quickly learn to lead, stand for grooming, shearing, vet work, and toenail clipping. We show ours, so they also learn how to behave in the show ring, do an obstacle course, and tolerate wearing a costume for costume classes. I love all kinds of animals, but llamas are really my favorites. Somehow they manage to be aloof and elegant but also affectionate and patient all at the same time. They each have their own personality and when they are brushed out their fiber is extremely soft. Beware of extremely inexpensive llamas. These are generally the ones that have behavioral problems or have never been trained. It's much better to spend a little more and get a good quality llama that has been trained well and never mistreated.

Answer 2

llamas make great pets especially if hand raised on bottles by their owners. the spitting you hear people talk about is caused by aggravation, usually only if restraining the animal or danger present. They are however a large pet so adequate space will be needed, and if in the south, a yearly trim of the body hair is recommended, as they can suffer heat exhaustion.
