Your revision of punctuation for #1 is correct, yes. Be sure to check capitalization, too.
What will you with the other two. Be sure to revise them with correct capitalization, too, even though you're concentrating on punctuation.
2. We will need to think carefully about what we take with us - (tents, sleeping bags and torches are essential)
Study these, and then revise. Read these very carefully before you make changes.

One more you need to study:

Sure! Here are the corrected sentences with added brackets, dashes, and other punctuation:
1. I have lots of animals - sheep, goats, horses, and fish - that I have to feed every day.
2. We will need to think carefully about what we take with us - tents, sleeping bags, and torches - as they are essential.
3. Help me decide what to do; call me at home. I must make a decision tonight.
In sentence 2, I added commas to separate the items in the list and dashes to indicate that they are essential items. In sentence 3, I added a semicolon to separate the independent clauses and changed "i" to "I" to capitalize the pronoun "I".
