I love having alpacas! But I will say mine at least are not very cuddly. I think if you start with a cria you may get them more used to human touch, but mine prefer the company of other alpacas to humans. Mine were adopted from 2 different farms when the alpacas were older. They're still very fun to watch and care for but they do feel like they have less personality than my goats for instance.

@Hannah Tran they have a barn but apparently drizzle isn't enough to deter them from the sweet spring grass

@Theresa Burdick Yes! I actually had a surprise birth last year that I found on camera - she had gotten pregnant through a fence and carried very small, but one day I saw some little niblings around her and rushed out!!

@Theresa Burdick Hello and welcome! I'm located closer to California but I know some people in Montana, I can put out some feelers to see. That sounds like a big adjustment!
