Do alpacas need to be put in a stall overnight?
Alpacas do not necessarily need to be put in a stall overnight, however shelter should be available at all times to protect from wind and precipitation, and to provide shade on hot days. Three-sided shelters that are orientated against the prevailing winds are usually adequate as long as the alpacas were sheared in the spring so that they have enough regrowth by winter to keep them warm. Stalling overnight would be recommended in an area where cougars are a threat.
