Rusty The Camel

Rusty is a dromedary camel born on February 18, 2003.   We got him 2 weeks after he was born and bottle fed him for 5 months.     We started out feeding him every 2 hours (...it was just like having a baby around!)   Gradually we were able to wean him off the bottle and transfer him to solid food.    He eats the same grain mixture and hay the horses eat.     He requires very little vet work and no farrier.    It has been an interesting adventure having Rusty live with us.    We learn more and more as he grows!!

This year (2007) John and Lauren both sat on Rusty!!   It was the first time anyone ever sat on him.   He didn't do anything but stand there --- maybe next year they'll walk around on him!!

Visitors are welcome anytime!
