A Female Llama Cria at Last

Lla Traviata has done the right thing and come up with our first female llama cria for the season.  She was a bit of a surprise because I didn't think Lla Trav was pregnant... but I've been proven wrong!!  (Not the first time!!)  We've decided to call her Aster :)

The Garden and the Boys

Not much flowering at present, a very late agapanthus, some May = Mothers Day = Chrysanthemums and some very early jonquils!!  Very grateful for a few splashes of colour!!

Carter and Totem are doing a stint in the driveway/Jennie Craig paddock.  Carter is learning to cope with life, with sight in one eye only after an accident a couple of weeks ago.  We've had to clean it up twice and give him antibiotic injections, but it seems to be healing OK.

Totem with his best 'did you bring treats?' look!

He's a very handsome boy as you can see from this very hard to obtain profile shot!

New Arrivals and Home Paddock Update

On Monday we got 9mm of very welcome rain.  Namoi gave birth to a male cria while it was coming down, wouldn't have been too bad, except that she delivered him into a puddle!!  Towelled him dry and luckily the sun came out.

He's had a chance to dry off properly now :)

This is Collette's daughter, Chianti - looking good :)

Cushla and her daughter, Scarlett - born the same day, what else could I name her???

Little Farquhar, a very pretty little cria :)  And pretty sneaky too, watched him steal a feed from Orchid while she was too busy eating brekky to notice!!

Lucien, already a very large llama in his head!!

 Jade continues to do well, now looking like a 'proper' llama cria and being taken very good care of by her mother Trinket.

Llamas for sale

Garrick Saladin is for sale, he is a beautiful reverse appaloosa stud male.  Quiet and gentle, and very easy to handle.  He has had a halter on a few times, but is not lead trained.  He can come with his paddock pal Socrates, who is a gelding.  I hope to have all the details up on www.maisonmauve.com.au later this evening, but meantime, if you need to know straight away, please feel free to email me.

This is Saladin:

And this is paddock pal, Socrates, I think... will have to check with Betty, it might be Achilles!!:
