Alpaca Care - Grazing and other animals

Alpacas can graze with other animals such as horses goats sheep etc, However we recommend introducing them slowly to start with and keeping a watchful eye until you are satisfied that they are all getting on.

We put our Alpacas in a paddock next to the horses for a few days and let them get used to each other. After that we put them in together and have not had any problems.

The above advice is based on our experience and that of other Alpaca breeders. You know your own animals best, if you have a particularly difficult animal that bites kicks or chases others then it would be unwise

To mix the two especially with pregnant females.

When feeding Alpacas we put out small amounts of hay on a regular basis.

The reason for this is that Alpacas will not eat hay that has been left and not eaten for a few days.

We change the water regularly as again Alpacas like clean fresh water they do not like water that has leaves or hay etc floating in it.

A mineral supplement such as Camelibra is fed twice daily, this is reasonably inexpensive and readily available. A full description of ingredients can be found by clicking on our link to Camelibra.

Included with all Alpacas that we sell is a Husbandry course if required and we are always happy to give advice when ever needed.
