This young lady, one day old in photo, is known as Princess Contessa Cinna of Brookside Farm. Her mother, Giada, is the white alpaca nearest her. She was born sometime in the late afternoon and surprised jenny when she came running into the paddock after all the others. We waited quite a while to see if she would nurse. A watched cria (baby alpaca) never eats. We finally had to go to bed. In the morning I contacted Jenny who was at the vet with Danny, one of our dogs, and asked her to get colostrum for her because she wouldn't eat. Then she ate. That was a relief.
