A black alpaca standing in a fenced space inside a barn with other alpacas in the background in another space

The same space now with a creep feeder installed on one fence panel and a fawn cria standing inside

Atreyu modeled a space before i turned it into Littlefoot's new creep feeder spot. He can see mom Becky from there, but probably not for long. We're looking at fixing up another space for her and a friend. We're making incremental changes as we near shearing.

Weaning, more than a change of food: it shapes a life-long, healthy gut In animal models, weaning reshaped the gut microbiome, which in turn ‘trained’ intestinal stem cells to respond better to microbes later in life.

#Weaning is an important step for #babies -- it affects their #gutHealth as adults. Drs. L Shen, L. Yang et al explain their findings. @natmicrobiol.nature.com @bcmhouston.bsky.social #microbiome #inflammation blogs.bcm.edu/2026/03/24/f...

She's not even making milk! She was just a really good mom, like most alpacas.
Littlefoot has that special feeder with shredded alfalfa and a few pellets. I'm already giving him nutridrench again to help with the stress of weaning.
Next week he gets his next vitamin D shot.

A Fawn alpaca Cria standing by his special feeder inside the barn with alfalfa on his nose

I went out earlier to take his coat off, I he seemed to want to hang out outside by the fence where Becky was chilling last night... Anyway, I got him interested in his food again, and he hasn't tried to nurse through the fence like Gigi did last year.

The farmer in a green hat and white shirt hugging the fawn Cria and his face is covered in orange goo

Alpacas in their pen and a gray and white. One stands next to a beige and white one on top of a dirt mound

A line of fluffy adult alpaca butts as they are turned away from the camera eating from their wooden feeder, and the Fawn Cria is facing the camera looking a little lost

Today was busy. After some consideration I decided to start weaning Littlefoot, and it was also his selenium gel day so he of course made a huge mess with it. Francesca, the 19-year-old matriarch, is now one of Littlefoot's aunties,

Involuntary weaning
The distractions of certain seasons can lead to a reduction in the number of feedings and their duration time, which can cause a decrease in milk production, a lactation strike or premature weaning.
