Do Camels Make Good Pets?

Do Camels Make Good Pets?
Having a camel as a pet is one of the most enjoyable things to experience. Sure, they aren’t dog sized (but kinda ‘dog like’ in behaviour) and they require particular husbandry requirements specific to camels.
Knowledge is power to pet camel ownership!
Many people across the globe are enjoying their ‘Pet Camel’ in a variety of ways from pleasure riding and trekking to simply just being with their camel.
In this video, I explain what you need to know to have a pet camel.
I cover things like:
Housing
Husbandry Requirements
Training & Handling requirements

I'd rather have a camel than a horse

[@thierryclaessens7342]

Thank you! Now I can care for my 33 camels IN my 25m² apartment!!

[@sanfranciscobay]

I had a dream last night I had a Camel. I brought it into my house and it laid down on the floor to make itself comfortable, just like a dog.

[@daviedood2503]

That actually means something in a dream..

[@haoson266]

I have a camel! His name is called “sish”

[@wardoonacademy]

Hello, I am from Somalia or Camel-land. We have more Camel than people here.

[@camelchannel_taralea]

Sounds like my kinda country! ;-)

[@milansaric6140]

Camels are my favorite animals 🐪

[@Shsudejdufuruf]

Camels are amazing one of my dream pets

[@slightlyimaginary5831]

Such a great video Tara! I love seeing how you interact with your camels, it's just so beautiful. I am so excited for this new channel. It will be years before I will be able to have my own camels, but in the mean time I intend to learn all I can from your videos, so I can be the best camel mama I can possibly be! Thanks for being such a inspiration and a source of wisdom for all of us camel lovers !

[@camelchannel_taralea]

I'm SO glad you're here, watching and learning! You're destined to be a GREAT camel owner someday soon. ~ Tara

[@killerkraut9179]

@@camelchannel_taralea Why you dont tell that Camels can be very dangerous?

[@camelchannel_taralea]

@@killerkraut9179 I'm pretty sure I cover that in some of my videos. Definitely elaborated in my Camel Training Courses. I say "a healthy fear is a good fear"

[@user-mx6sw5uf2u]

Facts about camel...Their eyes can zoom the objects like binoculars...They can eat cactus and chew it without hurt inside their mouth with torn from cactus.

[@worldvillagevlog2568]

Wow Explained well

[@MelodyRK]

THANK YOU TARA!!!! This was a perfect intro video! Please please please do more videos on raising camels and their general care. Maybe videos on their daily maintenance and your chores and such. Or maybe if you’ve come across medical issues they’re having, stuff like that! My husband will be retiring (He’s a U.S. Army Soldier) sometime in the next 6 years. I want two female camels. I have since I was 12. My husband loves animals and is totally up to working them with me. I cannot wait to own my own babies! Even if I don’t get them as babies lol. Anyway, we’re starting our camel husbandry study now so we will be well prepared and organized when the time comes to actually purchase ours. Your videos and website/classes excite me and make me eager to learn more! Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge you do!

[@cherrybrandy269]

Thanks Tara, very interesting.

[@judemccooey4987]

Yay love the video Everyone thinks I’m crazy I want to get a camel Hey they said that anout my goats and chickens too And cocoa white goat and little goat are doing great

[@TheShardulofAllah]

Camels are very cute

[@connorspies]

Instructions unclear. I'm hooked on Camel cigarettes.

[@camelchannel_taralea]

lol

[@donnajohnson9324]

Can you show us you training a wild camel from the beginning, I have only just found Luke Campbell who does this for a living, working with wild camels ❤

[@camelchannel_taralea]

I would love to 😀 - putting it out there!

[@hothmandon]

Do they get along with horses?

[@camelchannel_taralea]

depends on the circumstances and the horse. Some horses co-Habitat well other not so much. Camels never seem to have a problem with horses it the other way around.

[@ralphbaier7793]

I love your camels and you❤. I’d tend to them for free, but can’t afford. I have to find a pet camel farm, which will prove difficult in🇩🇪

[@asiatic_african]

Should the pair be male and female?

[@briannaflynn3824]

If you have two or three camels can they be kept in with horses, donkeys, and cows or is it better for them to have their own pasture?

[@camelchannel_taralea]

Yes often these dynamics work, horses can tend to be quite fearful of camels, but a gentle introduction could work. Donkey's and cows are ideal. Just be mindful that camels are extremely susceptible to parasites and do not have a tolerance like other domesticated animals (cows horses etc). Put the camels of a regimented parasite control program. You can find all this information in The Acadmey 🙂

[@matthewtucker8994]

Papaya seeds are a natural dewormer. Can they eat this?

[@camelchannel_taralea]

I don't know. I wouldn't personally give this to my camels.

[@jeyka119]

wow

[@donnajohnson9324]

What do you think of Luke Campbell who trains wild camels in the Northern Territory

[@camelchannel_taralea]

I just googled him. I have a very different opinion and approach to training and handling camels and this isn't how I train Australian (wild /feral) camels. There are lots of 'methods' and each to their own.

[@user-ix4te9kb3o]

i love camels

[@ratshave4748]

Can you eat them? What do they taste like?

[@camelchannel_taralea]

Yes camels can be eaten, but not the pet camels ;-)

[@zomgie6817]

I have heard a lot of bad things about camels. Never planned to get one but curious about their nature

[@camelchannel_taralea]

Camels are like big puppy dogs once you gain their trust and bond with them

[@milansaric6140]

0:38 wild dromedaries don't exist

[@RikodiusRex]

I want one! Or two?

[@daviedood2503]

Get two so they're not standing there alone when you're gone

[@camelchannel_taralea]

hahah definitely two are they are a herd animal

[@Malikmukhtar-hp2lc]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Remo860]

I hate to break it to you but that’s not a camel. It’s a dromedary. Camels have two humps.

[@camelchannel_taralea]

Two main breeds of camels: Dromedary (one hump) Bactrian (Two humps) In the USA and Russia the breed 'hybird' breeds.

[@milansaric6140]

Dromedaries are camels

[@milansaric6140]

There are 6 types of camels: 1. Dromedary camel 2. Bactrian camel 3. Wild bactrian camel 4. F1 camel 5 F2 bactrian camel 6. F2 dromedary camel The only non-domesticated camel is the wild bactrian camel.
