He must be charging her full whack!Sorry if it has already been mentioned but is she seriously not going to tag the artist who painted the wall mural?!
Yeah I don’t think she’s going to be able to just fatten them up and make them docile like she did with Henners.I'm Kate to the party with the Llama thing from yesterday but it's really worrying how those animals (especially Roy who seems to be the leader/biggest) are already walking all over her and seem to have no regard for areas they shouldn't be on. According to this they are already showing some signs of aggression https://backyardhomesteadhq.com/are-alpacas-dangerous/#:~:text=Alpacas can get aggressive, yes,will need a different reaction.&text=This is one of the,as a cria (baby). and I have to wonder whether she was wearing those thick gloved because they've already started nipping. They'll be gone by the end of the year. Probably sooner. I just hope nothing bad happens to those children of hers in the meantime.
Edit: from the website...
She seems to think it's so funny that they get into the feed shed when they shouldn't. It's not cute Sophie, it's potentially very dangerous!!
- Don’t encourage poor behavior – no matter how cute it is at first. It will become a bigger problem as your cria turns into an unruly, aggressive adult.
- Remember that aggressive alpacas are almost always human-caused. Aggressive alpacas in nature are rare.
- Design your alpaca’s areas to encourage them to be safe, gentle animals – even if they are a guard animal for your herd.
- Be proactive in teaching good alpaca manners. Usually, your alpaca herd will take care of this for you!

It definitely seems that way. When she keeps nervous laughing going on about how much she loves them it feels like she's trying to convince herself as well as her followers/nusty trolls that this wasn't one of the biggest mistakes she's made to date. I think she's seen the nicely behaved ones at petting farms and the like and decided Princess Sophie wants her own. But the ones at petting farms are kept well away from the general public, usually only fed with those grass pellets you can buy and have much bigger herds so don't see humans as a threat. You can see that Roy is the alpha and it's his job as leader of his little herd to knock his rival (Hinch) off her perch. I can see all this from spending like ten minutes reading a couple of articles about alpaca keeping and knowing almost next to nothing about them. She was probably too preocupied thinking about all the stuff she can buy for them and all the stuff she can make Weepy Al build and about how cute they are, to even think about whether or not they could be aggressive or dangerous (which they clearly already are). I would not be letting my children into an enclosure with them at all.I think she's afraid of the Llamas.
Too true! They are usually hugely experienced with alpacas to. Typical of her to think she can just wonder in and be fine with them. Going to visit every so often does not count. She should of been mucking in and spending hours with them! How on earth does she think she can have all the knowledge and skills within a few months? People spend YEARS working with animals before claiming they are experts and dishing out advice. She’s a joke!It definitely seems that way.

You mean the same hysterical laughter and insistance that she just loves them that she does with her kidsIt definitely seems that way.

I thought this last night or the night before. She seemed very nervous around the one in the feed room so I think it’s only a matter of time before we just see them from a distance and someone else is laid to look after them.I think she's afraid of the Llamas.
Was just about to post something similar!Give it a few months and someone in the family will develop some kind of allergy to the Alpacas, so she's had to rehome them. Nothing to do with them showing aggression, and the fact she realises she has made a huge mistake and she is out of her depth!
Her teasing post before he started on it was exactly what you just described and most on here said was too bright give Ronnie nightmares etc General consensus now is he's going to add colour. She's not tagged him yet for some reason though.I’m so annoyedI don’t know if it’s been mentioned because these threads move quicker than soph did to her new gaff when Stacey got hers but what the actual… when she said they where having his room painted with a farm mural I thought brilliant. It’s going to be big colourful animals, a big bright red barn, you know the kind of farm that is portrayed in a children story book, but no, he got a boring realistic farm that I just cannot be arsed with.
