My husband and I spent part of a day this weekend filling holes with dirt in the field that Miss Rosie dog above dug. Rosie felt that she was doing her job going after the moles. Denny is always checking our fields for holes because when the alpacas get to running we do not want them breaking their legs by hitting a hole.
The alpacas legs are pretty skinny. We have had two alpacas that broke their legs in other ways so we try super hard to be safe. One alpaca when she was a cria was stepped on by another alpaca and the other male was wrestling another male and hit the hay bunk. Sometimes things happen but my husband and I try our best to be preventative. As usual when we were filling in the holes the alpacas were all around us being nosy checking out what we were doing.
