These types of chemicals can remove the natural oils in the leather used to preserve the material. Chemical soaps will cause the leather to dry out, crack, and begin to deteriorate. Stick with water. For example, if you have a leather motorcycle jacket and you are forced to drive in the rain you may have to live with it being wet for a little while. You shouldn’t put your leather by a fire, out in the sun, or near a heater to dry it off like you would with cotton or cloth. Dry your leather in room temperature by letting it sit. Drying leather quickly will change its chemical structure, causing it to become brittle and crack.

Summary: Do not use any soaps or cleansers. Dry your leather slowly.


If your alpaca is not broken into a halter, you will either have to train it yourself or hire a trainer to do it for you. An alpaca halter should fit snugly, with the nose band high on the bridge near the alpaca's eyes, not low or loose, as is the case with horses or cows in halter. When not out at pasture, cured grass hay is the most recommended source of feed for alpacas. This is referred to as "dry lot" feeding. For dry lot care, it is best to feed in  some kind of feeder. Feeding directly on the ground will promote intestinal parasites.   Contrary to popular belief, alpacas do not digest grains properly, leading to ulcers and possibly even death. Nutritional supplements (grain and forage mixtures) are very useful in a breeding program. Different blends are made to facilitate growth, lactation, and fiber nutrients.   Free choice minerals should also be avail to help complement the nutrients that are lacking in your soil. Alpacas will develop a pecking order so having enough feeding stations will assure everyone has free access to eat. Some will share feeders other will not.  Plan on about 3 lbs of dry grass hay per adult alpaca. (about 2% of body weight) Having separate feeding stations will keep them from feeling over-crowded and as if their food supply is threatened by the presence of the other alpacas in its group.  Further, alpacas are smart, and can tip a regular feeding trough/container over easily. Another idea that works well is the installation of 8' or 10' vinyl gutters affixed to the fences, gates and/or sides of your buildings such that you can grain them with only one layer of grain or pellets, reducing the chance for the animals to gobble up too much food too quickly and choke.  Shallow, sturdy rubber feeding bowls work well, too. You might find it helpful to have a farm utility vehicle and/or small to mid-sized, reliable farm tractor with a loader or skid-steer. Get a garden tractor and/or brush hog for mowing around the farm but also in your alpacas' grazing fields. You will need a set of "paca-poop-pick-up" tools, such as rakes, shovels and scoopers, along with a cart or wheelbarrow or two to haul the muck away to the compost heap with. An alpaca First Aid Kit is a must for routine care but also in case of emergencies. Ask your vet what you should put in this but here are a few ideas:  Large bandages Splints Aspirator Bulb Bottle of Saline Solution Natural Tears Tube of Terramycin ointment (for the eyes) Alcohol for sterilization First-Aid Gauze and Tape, Pads and Cotton A chute, tie-down system or other alpaca-specific device designed for restraining your alpaca, if necessary A thermometer A stethoscope Vaseline or other lubricant Sterile gloves (latex or other synthetic) Probiotics or all natural, plain yogurt A llama tape or scale to track the animals' weights and body condition Novalsan or Betadine Corid (for treatment of coccidia when it arises) Ivomec, Ivermectin or other similar worming treatment/medication Safeguard liquid or paste (or Panacur, some brand of Fenbendazole) Vitamin B Complex L.A. 200 broad spectrum antibiotic (found in most farm supply stores)

Summary: Unless you plan on fighting your alpaca every time you need to take it someplace, like the vet, you need to purchase a good halter and know how to properly fit it on your alpaca. Get a sturdy feeding trough/container. Consider what tools you'll need. Be prepared for emergencies.
