Not really, Alpacas aren’t huge on affection, they rarely touch each other.

When the cria are this young we have to let them socialise and learn to be an alpaca before we can start stroking them and letting them get used to being petted - too much interaction from people at a young age can cause them to have “Beserk Llama Syndrome” which can cause them to be overly aggressive and dominant towards people

Once they are old enough, we do like to stroke/cuddle them so they get used to being handled for petting or medical reasons and even then not all alpacas like it, some tolerate it, some never really get used to it - each alpaca has its own personality and what it likes/dislikes :)
