Alpaca Society Event Success

S4Bed were once again delighted to have been chosen as the preferred bedding supplier for the recent British Alpaca Society Show at Spring Live 2023 held at the South of England Showground Ardingly.

The event was well attended by visitors and exhibitors alike with some beautifully bred Alpacas  on show. We wanted to delve a bit deeper into this special type of animal – The Awesome Alpaca.

Alpacas are a type of South American camelid, related to llamas, vicuñas, and guanacos. They are domesticated animals and have been raised for their wool, meat, and as pack animals for thousands of years. Here are some reasons why alpacas are considered special:

Soft and Warm Wool: Alpacas produce one of the finest and softest natural fibers in the world, which is warmer and more water-resistant than sheep’s wool. The fibers come in 22 natural colors and over 300 shades, making them versatile for use in textiles and fashion.

Easy to Raise: Alpacas are easy to care for, require minimal space, and are gentle and docile animals that do not require much training. They are also environmentally friendly, as they have a low impact on the land and are efficient converters of grass into fiber and meat.

Friendly and Intelligent: Alpacas are known for their curious and social behavior. They are intelligent animals that can recognize their owners, follow voice commands, and even make facial expressions to communicate their mood.

Therapeutic Value: Alpacas have been used in therapy programs for children with special needs and veterans suffering from PTSD. Their calm and gentle nature can help reduce stress and anxiety and promote relaxation and healing.

Overall, alpacas are unique animals with a combination of desirable traits that make them special and valuable to their owners and society.

Cardboard bedding is a great choice for Alpacas as it is not only dust extracted but also very absorbent and comfortable for them to lie on. As well as it being a cost-effective and versatile solution for owners of all types of animals.
