The latest news!

29-07-2018 kalfje Fay

/ /

3 dagen na Donder, werd er weer een kalfje geboren, bij kameel Noëlle.
Deze keer een meisje en we hebben haar Fay genoemd, naar een medewerker.

Moeder Madelief en Noëlle staan samen in de wei met hun 2 kalfjes :)

26-07-2018 kalfje Donder

/ /

Op donderdag kwam er plotseling een hoosbui over de kamelenmelkerij heen.
En voor 1 kameel in de wei werd het een dubbele verlossing….

Kameel Madelief beviel namelijk tijdens de hoosbui van een hengstje.
We hebben hem ook de toepasselijke naam Donder gegeven en hij is ook erg donker

Moeder Madelief is heel beschermend, dus je kan nog niet echt dichtbij komen, maar dat is alleen maar goed.

05-06-2018 kalfje Sven

/ /

Toen gast Sven kwam inchecken voor 3 nachten in de B&B, ging hij eerst bij de kamelen kijken vanuit het restaurant.
Hij kwam toen gelijk terug naar de balie, om te vertellen dat er een kalfje werd geboren.

Omdat Sven het had ontdekt, hebben we het kalfje ook naar hem vernoemd, want het was een hengstje.
Maar als het een meisje was, hadden we het naar z’n dochter vernoemd.
Nou, ik heb iemand nog nooit zo blij gezien dat er een kameel naar hem vernoemd werd.
Wat was Sven trots!

Omdat hij de B&B verbleef is hij elke dag even komen kijken hoe het ging met zijn naamgenoot….
