Do llamas have any problems in extreme weather conditions?
Generally speaking, llamas do fine with any cold weather. They do need to be able to get into shelter in severe cold wind conditions or the tips of their ears can become frost bitten. And of course, baby llamas are more susceptible to the cold than the adults – we put little coats and neck warmers on ours! Hot, humid weather is more dangerous for llamas than the cold. When the weather is hot and/or humid, llamas should have access to shade and preferrably a fan to keep them from overheating. We also spray their legs, chests and bellies with a hose several times a day on those 90 degree high humidity days. Some llamas will also go and stand or sit down in a wading pool full of water to keep cool.
