Searches have been made of the local area for the animals, which the farm acquired in March.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday night, the owners were assisted by a friend using a thermal camera in an effort to detect the capybaras in the darkness.<\/p>\n
Mrs Ollie said the animals needed heat and a special diet.<\/p>\n
She told BBC Reporting Scotland, News at Seven: “If they have been taken I just hope they are being properly cared for.”<\/p>\n
The capybaras are 10 months old and still not fully grown.<\/p>\n
Mrs Ollie said the farm, which is open to the public, had been on a waiting list for 18 months to get the animals and there were not many others in the UK.<\/p>\n
She said thorough searches were made of the enclosure, which is surrounded by 6ft (2m) high fences.<\/p>\n
“We were digging through the snow and my husband was in their pond, which is crazy because it was covered in ice and freezing,” she said.<\/p>\n
“We’re devastated.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Searches have been made of the local area for the animals, which the farm acquired in March.
