Question

How high should the camel fencing be?

Community Answer

It should be at least as tall as the camel's hump. They can't fully jump but will still try to escape if given the chance.

Question

Do camels smell too much for a residential area? Do they make much noise?

Community Answer

For the first question, a camel's breath is the main thing that smells, however this can be altered by attending to their diet, and even brushing their teeth. They aren't truly smelly creatures if you care for them correctly. Camels can make a low pitch sound, which is like a grunt, but they all have different temperaments, some are louder than others.

Question

How do I increase the milk of the camel?

Community Answer

Give it a lot of water, make sure it eats well and do not feed it anything sweet. Also, if the camel is male do not feed it lemon grass, it increases a camel's blood pressure which is highly dangerous.

Question

What is the purpose of a blanket on a camel in the desert

Community Answer

Primarily, to keep flies away. Blankets are also used for this purpose with horses. Also, deserts can get cold at night, so blankets can also be used for warmth.

Question

What is the specific amount of space my camel needs?

Community Answer

2 acres per camel is minimum, some cleared. Your camel will also need a hut tall and large enough to turn around and lie down easily that will protect it from the elements.

Question

How do I know if a camel needs water?

Community Answer

They will start making noises and their tongue will appear/feel dry. Also, if you feel its head and it feels hot, it probably needs water.

Question

Will camels naturally breed if a female and male are put in the same area?

Community Answer

Yes, if a female is in heat. Be careful, though. Camels truly become dangerously aggressive if you come between a male and a female in heat.

Question

Do camels need to be indoors during the winter?

Community Answer

Yes, your camel should be indoors, even with their natural temperature resistance. Depending on where you live and how extreme your winters are, you should consider a heat lamp/temperature control for your camel in your shelter.
