Best Answer

Camels eat a wide variety of plants over expansive home ranges. They have leathery mouths and can eat practically any vegetation including thorns, dry vegetation and salt bush that other mammals avoid. Just about all vegetation available in the desert.

camels mainly eat straw/hay/roughage in the wild they will nibble on small branches/leaves/shrubs the diet from the zoo and private people owning camels is way -WAY- too rich; carrots, fruit etc is too rich for them; use these as nice snacks, but only snacks/reward

A camel eats cactus and dry shrubs. Since there is not much water in the desert, the camel can survive without water because it has fat in its' humps and that acts as liquid for the camel.
