We have two llamas, but it looks as though someone has already provided you with what you need. They are certainly great escape artists - our first boy managed to jump out of the front of a horse trailer (with the ramp up, that is) from a standing start. Our boys are contained with a four foot post and single rail fence, but then they have been gelded and there are no female llamas around. Guanacos (another member of the camelid family) can jump over six feet

i was going to say nobody keeps llamas here but not quite true several people have tried but they are dieing .
we have bugs here that they haven't got on the mainland i think there are about 2 left on the whole island Sad

if you want to make our vet here quake in fear mention setting up a llama farm Twisted Evil
