The marsupials hopped free from Thorner Alpacas, on the outskirts of Leeds, after strong winds damaged their paddock on Wednesday evening.
Roxy was caught with a net on Friday after she was spotted at a nearby farm and the other escapee, Amadeus, was tranquillised by a vet the following day in a field in Thorner.
