Alpacatex2008’s Weblog

We had snow and some ice; twice this week, Monday and Thursday.  Rather unusual to have two systems come through in such a short time.  It was a nasty day yesterday weatherwise and today it’s the opposite; sunny and warm.  The alpacas huddled in the barn all day yesterday.  They ventured out into the snow today.  I was raking hay out an area of the barn and discovered some very young bunnies huddled in a 3″ deep hole the mother had made in the soft and warm sand.  I left them as I found them and covered them back up with the bunny fur and straw the mother had lovingly covered them up with.  She must visit them at night when it is dark and quiet.  How sweet.
