Mally

Meet Mally, the loner of the group and tends to be somewhat nervous. He’s a fussy alpaca and so far will not take treats! Because he doesn’t like treats, it makes him harder to train and get used to human contact. So while Topaz and Jim come and accept treats, Mally hangs around at the back, watching. However, once he’s on a lead rope, he’s a very laid back alpaca and seems to enjoy being walked by our more nervous students or those with additional needs.

Topaz

Or you might prefer Topaz. He’s the leader of the group and the most confident and prettiest alpaca with beautiful long eyelashes. On our alpaca walks, Topaz likes to take the lead. However, he can also be very cheeky and will push in and steal treats from his chums. His favourite treat is cabbage – what a strange chap! Topaz is the alpaca who’s most likely to show his displeasure and is the only one of the three who will spit when we give him treatments such as injections or vitamins!

Jim

Maybe our Jim might be the alpaca of choice on your next expedition? Don’t tell the other alpaca, but Jim is our favourite! He began life at Walton as a grumpy soul and was the most likely to have a quick kick. However, after spending a lot of time with him, he’s now the most friendly alpaca who loves attention! Jim’s favourite treat is carrots – he can see very well in the dark!!
While Topaz is the prettiest alpaca, Jim is the scruffiest! He’s always mucky and muddy, and his fringe always looks flat. Show alpaca are meant to be a solid colour, and Jim has a ginger stripe on his neck. He also has chunky legs!
