Affordable way to get a vest and neck warmer for baby alpaca? (farm, livestock)

[ColoGuy]

Got a very healthy baby alpaca yesterday morning. It was 4 F when it arrived. Could almost run within two hours. I keep it enclosed at night with the two females.

The other female will likely deliver soon. I want to be prepared in case this baby is not as healthy.

Their legs are so long and thin that I'm concerned about injury if I tried to put a small sweater on it by myself.

I don't know what vests and neck warmers for colts and lambs and cria etc are called. Makes it harder to find a deal...

I'm not trying to become a veterinarian here by the way.

I keep losing my post when I try to get another website

When foals (equines) are born during inclement weather, they often wear a body blanket. If the body is warm, so are the legs

Foal Blankets from Schneider's Saddlery

I should own stock in Schneider Tack, so I can say they are a great company to deal with.

That said, there is a web site for Alpaca blankets but I have to post this, then come back in with the other link or I will lose everything for a third time

Ok, here is the link for the Alpaca body blankets. Cursor down to see one for a newborn

Wrapping legs is not just a matter of wrapping. On horses, wraps have to go in a certain direction, and have a certain tension on them. There are also different kinds of wraps, some of which are for injuries, some for reducing strain after a heavy workout.

If leg covers are necessary, a newborn's legs should be small enough that a pair of knee hi men's wools hunting socks might work. Cut the feet off and duct tape them on T the top and bottom.

Unless it is routine to wrap baby Alpaca legs in the cold weather, I wouldn't. Keep the body warm and the legs will follow

And yes, you do need to be half a vet where livestock is concerned, lol.

I was raised on a dairy farm and have been paying for my own horses 56 of my 68 years. You can't begin to imagine the things I have on hand that save me from calling the vet. When my vet hears me say "emergency", they are at my farm in an hour or less, lol

Thank you for the thoughtful reply.

Appears that I am searching for "foal blankets". My previous searches kept turning up clothing made of llama or alpaca fiber.
