Llamas are very curious animals and will nibble at hair barrettes, rings, and things. One try to remove my daughter's barrette, from her hair, when she was little and we visited a special farm for kids.

We have a fellow up the road who started out with just a few, as weedeaters, over about 180 acres. Now he has a head of about 50, with new younguns' every year, so they can't have that much of a problem!

I saw or read a special on a woman who has one which rides in the back of her minivan, to wherever they are hiking/packing or visiting, as it visits schools, too. They are very smart and quite docile if handled right from birth. I also have a friend who raises them. I love llamas, can you tell?
