Question

It says to reward the camel. Reward the camel with what? What do they like?

Community Answer

Camels tend to enjoy bunches of alfalfa and different fruits and vegetables such an apples or carrots. They aren't very picky and will respond well to treats and positive reinforcement.

Question

Will I have arthritis pain from riding a camel if I did from riding an elephant?

Community Answer

Yes, you will likely have the same type of pain (though it is not guaranteed) because you are going to be doing a similar movement.

Question

What do I do if a camel poops or pees while riding?

Community Answer

Let it do so. The body waste won't interfere with you or your ride. However, if this bothers you so much then stop get off or stay on and let your camel do its business, although you're more likely to get something splashed on you when getting off while it relieves itself than staying put on the camel.

Question

Can I ride my camel through the streets legally?

Community Answer

It depends on the country where you live. Check out the country or district laws about riding an animal in the settlements in your country. But it is not recommended if cars, trucks and other fast-moving vehicles are always passing by because it could be pretty stressful for the camel unless the camel has been trained to cope with traffic.

Question

What are the commands when riding a camel?

Community Answer

Those are, steer left, steer right, stop, go, sit, and stand. That's all. If you can't make it do so, ask the master to do it for you.

Question

Can I put stirrups made from a skipping rope on a camel to make it more comfortable to ride?

Community Answer

You might choke it out with a tight rope. Try not to use anything thin or tight. Just use the regular stirrups.

Question

I heard camels are smelly animals. Is this true?

Community Answer

They can be stinky. However, with proper care, they don't smell bad. You might find the smell unfamiliar though, and that might be cause a personal dislike of their natural odor.

Question

How do I get a camel to stop and go?

Community Answer

Camels usually have commands, and if you are with a group or on a tour, the camel’s master will usually tell you the commands. Even so, camels can be stubborn, so if your camel won’t respond to you, let it’s master know and they will usually be able to help you get going or stop.
