No, alpacas are herd animals and must be kept with at least one other alpaca, preferably at least two other alpacas, in order to be healthy & happy. If kept alone, they can develop behavior problems and go a bit crazy.

What is the life span of an alpaca?

Although the lifespan of an animal greatly ranges, alpacas generally live for 15 - 20 years. IF a female has had many crias, or a male has had many offspring, the odds may be lower that they reach over the age of 20. Alpacas are not slaughtered for meat, so it is usually common that they live to a rather old age. Although the lifespan of an animal greatly ranges, alpacas generally live for 15 - 20 years.
