Alpaca husbandry and management is not difficult. Occasional grooming, trimming of toenails, and sometimes teeth along with annual shearing are the major areas. Annual vaccinations for tetanus, clostridia organisms, rabies, and lepto (in endemic areas), and control of parasites is recommended. Please consult a vet knowledgeable about alpacas.
