Sometimes alpacas go off their feed in the severe cold, just when they really need those extra calories. I have gotten shredded beet pulp from the feed store and mix it w/very hot tap water. I put that in their dishes w/ their regular food on top of it. By the time the pulp has moistened, the water has cooled from very hot to warm and they have some nice warm food going into their tummies. Seems to help stimulate their appetite.
