Whether you are a farmer, traveler, camel driver or the CEO of a riding company, it is important to know that good camels need to be healthy and easy to work with. This is an important decision and therefore it is important to choose the camel that suits your needs.

Steps

Method 1 of 4: Before Buying a Camel

1. 1 Get ready to take care of your camel. Buying a camel means acquiring responsibility. You need enough space, good shelter, and everything you need to feed him. You should also arrange with your veterinarian to check the condition of the camel "before" purchase and transportation.
   • Make sure you have enough room for your camel. It is advised to have at least 2 hectares of land for one camel, but it is also advised not to keep the camel alone, because they miss being alone.
   • Many people advise not to let camels in the same pasture with horses, even if there is a fence between them, as horses are sometimes very afraid of camels.
2. 2 Know how to take care of your camel and what they need. Buy or borrow camel rearing books, read rearing websites for more information on how to care for your new camel. In particular, read the information on feeding, health and exercise carefully. If you have other animals, then find out how they will get along together.
   • Your camel will take a lot of your time. If you are already busy, then most likely buying a camel is not a good idea.
3. 3 Decide on the number of humps. Do you need a camel with one or two humps? Sometimes this question will not even arise, everything will depend on where you buy the camel. But if it's important, find all the information you need first.
   • By humps, two main types of camels are distinguished. They will be delivered to you from different parts of the earth, so this can also influence your decision.
4. 4 Consider your ability to pay. Do you have the right amount of money? Camels are expensive. The price will consist of the cost of the camel itself, the cost of its delivery, which can be about 40 thousand rubles, and besides, you will constantly need food and equipment for keeping the camel and money to pay veterinary bills, which can be much more expensive than regular bills for services veterinarian due to the fact that he has to be a camel specialist.
5. 5 Find out all about the required documents. Camels are not dogs or cats, you will need customs documents, certificates and other necessary papers, which depend on your country of residence.

Method 2 of 4: Choosing a Camel

1. 1 Go to a top-notch camel trading destination. Suitable places would be Ethiopia, India, the Gobi Desert or Australia. In India, in the state of Rajasthan, there is a place called Pushkar, where a huge camel festival is held in October-November.
   • You might also consider catching and taming a wild camel in Australia, but that's a different story. Genetically speaking, they are very strong animals. Therefore, you'd better go to someone who specializes in this than catch the camel yourself.
   • The camel can be pre-selected online before going to buy it.
2. 2 Think about whether there are camels in your country. Camels are not found in large countries such as the USA, Canada and Russia. You will most likely find a camel in the Sahara Desert of North Africa. As mentioned in the third step, they can most likely be found in Ethiopia, India, Egypt and the Sahara Desert.

Method 3 of 4: Buying a camel

1. 1 Choose a camel. Check everything carefully so as not to buy a camel with a bad temper. If you do not know what to look for, then take someone who understands this with you. Pay this person all travel expenses and time spent; it's worth it.
2. 2 Pay for your camel. Arrange for delivery to your home. Here you will need to do paperwork; it is better for her to do it as early as possible.

Method 4 of 4: Send home

1. 1 Come up with a name for your camel if it hasn't been named yet. Choose the name that suits him best. Take a closer look at how he eats or walks, or even how he looks.
2. 2 Arrange a place for him in advance, before his delivery. This way, you have everything your camel needs ready in advance, and you don't have to buy everything at the last minute.
