Alpacas as Pets UK

There have been no wild alpacas now for thousands of years & were originally bred in Chile for their fleece & meat. Because they are domesticated alpacas are great as pets as long as they are provided for correctly. They are relatively easy to keep because they only really require worming, sheering & nail clipping although the feeding of mineral & vitamin supplements can be required as well. Alpacas are naturally very inquisitive creatures & should be checked several times a day as this curiosity can get them into trouble at times. If you are interested in taking on alpacas as pets & would like further information, please feel free to contact us.
