Toenails Llama toenails need trimming, but frequency depends on terrain and the individual llama. This is an easy chore, taking but a few minutes. Worming and Vaccinations Worming and vaccination requirements vary in different areas so check with your local vet about requirements for your region. At Llovely Banks we vaccinate twice yearly, in Spring and Autumn, and worm our llamas annually each Spring. Breeding Gestation is approximately 350 days and birthing is normally easy with babies up and feeding within 1-2 hours.
Most llamas give birth during daylight.
The recommended age for breeding maidens varies from breeder to breeder. As a general rule - we wait until our llama females reach at least 2 thirds of their estimated adult body weight before joining them for the first time. As the average llama reaches about 150 kgs at maturity we believe 100-110kgs is an acceptable weight for joining. Our records show our females reach those weights between 12-18 months. Normally the female is receptive, quietly kushed and content.
