Breeding & crias

How long are alpacas pregnant?

A

Short answer

About 11.5 months (around 335 days), with a normal range of roughly 320-360 days.

Because alpacas are induced ovulators, they can be bred any time of year. Breeders time matings so crias are born in mild weather. Use our gestation calculator to estimate a due date.
