A female alpaca may fully mature (physically and mentally) between 12-24 months. As the age of maturation varies greatly between individuals, it is usually recommended that novice breeders wait until females are 18 months of age or older before initiating breeding. A male is usually ready to mate for the first time between one and three years of age.
