When it comes to scooping alpaca poop the most popular method is the rake and plastic scoop. But there are different types of rake and here for the uninitiated are my thoughts on the alternatives. (The water bottle is included to give an idea of scale.)
 The horse rake; totally useless the alpaca "beans" go straight through the tines which are designed to extract horse manure from grass.  The small rake; designed for clearing up after dogs. Not of industrial strength and too weak for the task at hand.  The smal plastic rake; perfect size and length but the plastic tines have one flaw.....  When the temperature drops the plastic becomes brittle and the tines snap off.  The large metal rake; my favourite but regarded as too big by some.  The smaller metal rake; the ideal solution. The metal tines won't snap and the size and weight are ideal. Out top choice even though its not the cheapest. Adrian Stewart Trackbacks
