    Hi, I have been feeding my three alpacas Blue Seal alpaca/Llama pellets and two of them frequently appear to have trouble swallowing. They stop eating and try to cough up the pellets that appear to be stuck in their throats. I tried adding water to the pellets to soften them, drained the water and the alpacas did not want to eat the softened pellets. Should I try a different brand?
