The cria’s are now eating grain in the cria pen and loving every min of it.  They think dinner time is now great fun since they get to act like the rest of the big alpacas and have their own pen to go into for grain. Sima who is one of the older cria’s has not been interested in things so unimportant as grain, until today.  Today she finally took a mouth full.  She immediately knew why the other cria had loved it so much,  it was delicious.  Such big gals in such little bodies.
