💡 Our Recommendation for Alpacas & Llamas
Use TapTap Buddy + Microchip together. Microchips are often required for breed registry and DNA verification, providing permanent identification. TapTap Buddy is your supplemental "escape recovery & farm management" system. When valuable alpacas or llamas escape (they can be worth thousands!), a neighbor taps the tag and calls you instantly - no vet scanner needed. GPS trackers cost $650-1,000 over 5 years and need constant recharging (impractical for herd management). TapTap Buddy works forever with no batteries, tracks fiber micron counts, fleece quality, breeding lineage, medical history, and helps manage your entire herd for just $30 one-time per animal. Perfect for both alpacas and llamas!
