Famous Five Go Travelling

Five of our alpacas, three boys and two girls, flew to their new home in the Middle East this
week. Chas drove them up to Heathrow and they spent the night in the stables there before
being loaded into their own specially made crate for the flight.

Of course, lots of things have to happen before that moment, vet checks, vaccinations for
bluetongue, clear tests for bovine tb and brucellosis and quite a bit of halter training too. The
people at the other end sent a video of the crate coming off the plane which was very
exciting (see it over on our instagram page). We were very relived to see them in the receiving airport’s stables, having been
released from the crate, looking as normal.

They probably dozed off on the seven and a half hour flight as they would have felt safe
being all together and anyway alpacas always sit down when travelling.

So it is goodbye to Eboli and Fulla, the girls, and Mercutio, Raven and Berri, the boys.
