Alpaca care at a glance - what you should consider
Alpaca care starts with keeping the animals. Alpacas should be protected from draughts and have sufficient exercise in a species-appropriate environment. A balanced diet is just as important as hygiene in the stable and on the pasture.
Daily grooming for healthy alpacas
The dense and soft alpaca fur is not only beautiful to look at, but also fulfills important functions. It protects the animals from cold, heat and UV radiation. Regular brushing is essential to keep the coat healthy. In our online store, you will find high-quality coat care products that have been specially developed for alpacas and make brushing easier for both the animal and the owner.
For the annual shearing of alpacas, we also offer professional shearing machines that can be used to shear quickly and gently. Regular shearing is essential for the health of the animals.
