Went to feed this morning again. I don't know what was going on, but I seemed to be on the menu!
I took the hay out, and the llamas met me at the gate. I put the hay in the bins close by, and Llama walked up. I patted her, then said I didn't have anything for her, holding up my hand. She then walked over, and started sucking my fingers like a calf! This was odd. I carefully removed my hand, and she just walked over and started on the OTHER hand. Okay...
After removing my now somewhat gooey digits from her mouth, I started for the gate. I looked down to see Toni reaching for my fingers, too! But, she smelled Llama on my hands, and quickly backed off, with a disgusted look. I quickly let myself out, locked the gate, and put my hands down...
Whereupon, Rudee decided that I needed my fingers washed!
I have not a clue why the llamas would be interested in my fingers... Rudee is always licking me, so that wasn't a big surprise, but it was sure unique having a llama nibble. (For any worried about my being bitten, llamas don't have upper teeth, just a hard, gum covered plate. They have long, horse like bottom teeth, but again, they aren't particularly sharp.)
So, I guess I was tasty this morning!
