How much does it cost to feed an alpaca?
It will vary depending on whether or not your alpacas can graze, what quality of forage they have available and for how much of the year. But even if you feedlot your alpacas (if you have nothing upon which they can graze at least part of the time), it will cost less to feed an alpaca per month than the average dog — about $8 per month. This includes the minerals and grain mixes mentioned above. Thus, an alpaca is a very economical animal to feed!
