Pet Alpacas?

We sometimes talk about "pet alpacas", but
as cuddly as they seem, they are not really
pets in the same sense as a dog is a pet.

Most of them don't like to be petted or even
touched. There are exceptions, but you
should be very wary of a 'friendly' young male.
When he becomes an adult, he may not
understand the difference between humans
and alpacas - he may treat you as another
young male, which means pushing, chest
butting, or even biting.

It's important that your alpaca respects your
space and comes only as close as is
respectful. This doesn't mean you have to go
in for heavy-handed dominance, however.

It also does not mean that you have to be
wary around adult males, as you must be
with stallions, rams, bucks, or bulls. I can
walk up to my male alpacas,
while they are
breeding, put my arm around their necks,
and pull them away.

Alpacas' major defense is running away; if
they're very angry, they will spit; they may kick,
especially if they're surprised from behind;
they may bite each other. But it's very unusual
for them to do major damage to a human.

It's easy to halter train them. With further
training, you can put them through an
obstacle course; you can even teach them
"tricks" like putting trash into a waste can.

A good resource on training, handling, and
overcoming problems is Marty McGee
Bennett's book and website
Camelidynamics.

Alpacas need

Shelter - a 3 or 3½ sided run-in shed is
fine in most climates, though the humans
will be happier working in a barn.

Space - enough room to stretch their legs.

Food - they prefer grass, but a good grass
hay should be available also; a field of tall
grass that looks good to us may be
over-mature with little nutrition and not
palatable.

Water - clean and always available.

Vitamins & minerals - salt, as a block or
loose, or pellets, or both.

Companionship - at least one other
alpaca (even a llama is not the same for
them); 3-5 feels more like a herd and
therefore safer.

Shearing - once a year as well as
toe-trimming, vaccinations, deworming
when necessary.
