A friend of mine has in the past. What do you want to know?

They're lovely, need to be kept in a group as very sociable. They have a strict pecking order. So much so that when you take them out the boss one must be in front. Also feed the boss one first or get spat at!

They can jump over fairly high stone walls if they want to.

I have been thinking of it for a while, been on a couple of courses. But just wondered on a day to day basis what its like to care for them.

If anyone did own them could they recommend somewhere to buy them from?

Are you thinking of getting some Kritiq

Ah, my garden isn't big enough and my fence definitely isn't high enough, but I can dream!

(I do have a fluffy guinea pig that in a certain light looks like an alpaca with very short legs and a very short neck though! :) )
