A spitting problem!!!

[Yorkielover]

Okay anyone that knows about llamas please inform me why my llama I have had for years and have never had a problem with he spitting on me before. Now she decides she is going to start. She knows I am herd boss but today I was so  at her it wasn't even funny. On the norm I feed the goats in the barn shut the gate and walk out and put Morgans food where She eats. Today as normal she was walking beside me to get to her bowl and I went to dump her food and heard her glunking I looked straight at her and her ears were back and she was ready to spit I know more than said you better not spit on me a thats what she did. Boy I tell you what I was beyond mad. She has had an attitude lately and has been Glunking at me for a few days. She spit on me four times the day I shaved her. This is so not her and I am getting alittle concerned about this.

EEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW,
How old is she Deanna ?
Could it have something to do with hormones maybe ?

  Sorry to laugh but I couldnt help it...Maybe she is cycling and is very hormonal and thats why she did it or maybe she needs a friend...she was used to your sisters being there and maybe she is lonely...just a thought

Feed her first and it should stop, she is exerting her domance over the herd (goats) and by your feeding her last, you are upsetting her pecking order.

Thats ok kathy. Go ahead and laugh Brittney did. She thought it was so funny I on the other hand I was just beyond upset. What a bad habit that I so do not want her to have. Nic I will try feeding her first. I noticed also lately that she has been going to the bathroom in the barn which is also not normal for her. You may be right and she is marking the barn to say it is hers.  Kathy and Debi Llamas do not go into heat like goats. They are always ready and drop and egg to be fertlized when a male mounts them they can be bred all year long everyday. This is why I do not have a male.     Thank you for the info.
