Come and meet Eddie and Ollie and all their friends known as “The Gang” at Little Hamlet Alpacas


 Due to winter and the current covid situation I am now closed until Easter 2022. You may still book in advance for visits and training for dates from April 1st.

1. Small groups to a private visit at a total cost of £10.00 per person (maximum 8 people). Your visit will include learning about these wonderful animals – and interacting with them and a wonderful opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life and simply relax surrounded by these amazing Peruvian animals. You can hand feed them if you bring lots of carrots as it’s their favourite treat.

2. I offer various private 3 hour training /educational courses for those who are considering or already own alpacas or simply want to learn more about them at £50 per couple.

These training courses include learning all about these animals from behaviour to health care and husbandry, farm set up, feeding them how to body score, check teeth, toe nails, through to shearing and what you can produce from the fleece. You will learn what is involved in owning alpacas as opposed to the false information given by many breeders who want to sell alpacas to you that offer training courses and claim alpacas are easy to look after – e.g. only need grass - don't need a shelter and they do not get the same diseases as other livestock which IS NOT TRUE.

If you want to take in those that need a forever home you will learn what is involved.

The courses will be tailored to suit your individual needs. Sorry but no children under the age of 14. Logo Image of an Alpaca

Please appreciate that ALL visits must be booked in advance and sometimes it may not be possible to allow anyone to visit due to ill health of one of the herd or due to bad weather etc. You can book by email on adoptollie@yahoo.com

I guarantee you will fall in love with them and you will leave with a huge smile on your face.

We are located just 5 minutes from the main A30 in Redruth Cornwall.

I look forward to welcoming you to Little Hamlet Alpacas.

WHERE ALPACAS ARE LOVED, RESPECTED AND PROTECTED
