Prairie dogs now added to my ridiculously long list of *pet goals*

Informative video. Here is a heads up from personal experience. My wife and I were given a Texas Prairie Dog by a pet shop (long story) back in 1990. I called Hershey Park's Zoo America and was put in touch with "Dale" who educated me as to the needs of Prairie Dogs. I bought a 55 gallon deep hex shaped aquarium which I filled with cedar shavings. Then I made a custom three foot tall heavy gauge wire top... with a padlocked door. Elvis was not raised in captivity and so I had to wear thick welders gloves until Elvis adopted us as a bite from a Prairie Dog will go through bone. When we came home, if Elvis was topside he wanted to be held and played with. Prairie Dogs do not smell like ferrets and are extremely social animals. If you sneeze or cough don't be surprised if your Prairie Dogs barks. They can also burrow into a couch in less than thirty seconds... I know.

OMG when i saw him grab that carrot and start eating it i started DYING THEY ARE SOOOO CUTEEEEEE

I live near a family park and in the last 2 months I think I've seen over 100 prairie dogs searching for food and playing in the park. They seem to love running all over the park unless they see a bird flying overhead, Then they head for their burrows. I really enjoy watching them. About two weeks ago, I searched the Internet for what kind of food they might like, and unfortunately, someone recommended giving them nuts to eat. I've been trying to find unsalted --plain nuts for them and never knew that they liked hay, small amount of oats, carrots, apples, romaine lettuce and celery, and some corn on the cog. Did I do something wrong by feeding them nuts with some small bits of pineapple and dried bananas? I will stop giving them those foods. Now, I will do my best to feed them the correct food. They are so cute and always seem to bring some happiness to my life. Thank you for setting me straight on what they should eat. Could you tell me what kind of hay did you recommend? Thanks, Bob

A video suggested after the video is one that I've already watched. It's the one named Raising Chicks and Ducklings, and at 2:34 in the morning I read "Raising Chicken and Dumplings" XD

Until I saw your prairie dogs in another video, I too had no idea they could be & are pets. She's sooooo adorable! It was just perfect at the end when you said "if you have any questions about prairie dogs..." & she stood up straight & turned towards the camera! Also thought the look the white fluffy cat had on its face while looking at pepper (I think that's her name, I'm sorry if I misheard!) was too funny! That, what the heck is that thing, look was great.

When pepper started eating the carrot I died that was the cutest thing I have ever seen

3:40 into the video is adorable, i just bought my girlfriend a praire dog pup over the weekend!

There is a prairie dog "town" where I live. I love going out there and watching them-the babies are unspeakably cute💙 Unfortunately, people around here consider them pests! I am concerned about them disrupting and destroying even more of the doggies' home.

Him grabbing the carrot is the most adorable thing ever! I tend to say that a lot, though. I didn’t really know that they can be kept as pets, or that it’s even legal. Could you make more prairie dog videos, like a cage tour?

I like your filmmaking style, where you often reset the prairie dog to a slightly different location before starting a new sentence, so that he is seemingly getting into new shenanigans at the beginning of making your next point. I liked the precise and comprehensive instructions here. The very last video I watched, included a girl recommending puppy chow for young prairie dogs.

They’re like big cute gerbils

My Flemish giant had 12 babies and they all lived, even the runts! Isn’t that insane! Very great video! Thank you!

Omg it’s so cute when they wag their tail

You are awesome. My girlfriend and I rescue mainly reptiles. A friend of ours just got himself into a situation where we had to take on some of his pets. One of them is a prairie dog! We are looking up as much info as we can. She is captive bred and so so sweet. We're in love already. Thank you for your care guide!

This is so cool! I love prairie dogs, and I want to get them one day.

I am looking forward to seeing more videos about Prairie dogs! Id love to see their cage setup and how you bond with them!

Maybe a Prairie dog meal prep video. Showing measurements. I'd definitely feed organic if I had Prairie dogs.

Thank you so much. Someone that my dad works with has a female baby prairie dog and she likes to be very energetic-- and she bites. If you could reply with info on how to make her stop biting a lot let me know! The owner barely feeds her hay because she doesn't eat it-- which is a problem. Please help!

How would you go about litter box training them?

How well do they get along with other animals? Such as cats and small dogs?

Hello what did you call the oat supplement

I got a Prairie dog about a week ago. Can I use human nail clippers to cut the tips of my Prairie dogs nails? I did a lot of research but, I’m taking him to the vet in a couple days instead to get them clipped. I don’t want to hurt him, I’m just wondering if that’s fine though, in advance. Lol

How many prairie dogs can a critter nation keep thx love ur channel❤️❤️

Great video. Very informative. Can they eat guinea pig pellets? Was thinking of getting pd's next spring

Well, what temperatures can they stand?

Do you need a wide lawn to keep them ? I remember that some prairie dogs likes digging and some even can ruin a furniture.

How big of a cage do they need? By the way I'm a huge fan of your videos.

Where did u get your prairie dogs

Thanks for the hepful video! I saw a video saying something about "Vitamin C capsules" or something because apparently they're unable to get VC by food. You have any knowledge about that? Kind regards

god bless your soul!

do you breed them ?

Could you do a video on kinkajous and there care

Do prairie dogs eat sweet potatoes? Are they good to give to them?

Can i get one in Phoenix,Arizona

What cuties!! Do they smell like ferrets and gliders?

Just watched your video on prairie dogs it was great information the only question I have feeding corn on the cob is that cooked or raw?

❤💗💓😍😻adorable

Where did you get that prairie dog

Can you make a part 2 of prairie dog care

What is their temperament like?

how did you get to know all this? did you go to college for the nutrition consultant and if so how long? sorry if I ask to many questions

Can you do more stuff about leopard gecko care? Or hacks.

I love your horse rainbow you should do a barn tour and a video of you and rainbow riding together but she has a saddle on

so how much hay should they be fed daily?

Can you maybe do a pet room tour?

I have just found a small one with a brocken leg. No idea how it happened or even got near my house. My dad says to put it down but I disagree. No blood but the left rear leg is dangling. Help me, I put him in a box with water but he is looking weak.

Where did you get you prairie dogs? I live in Florida so i wanted to know!

For a prairie dog what do you use for it going to the restroom because all the litter boxes I've seen are plastic and I don't want any harm to come to him if he chews it

were can u get a prarree dog

I'd like to know more about what foods they are allowed to eat, not just the healthy stuff.

does it bite

I was wondering if you could please do a Prairie dog cage tour because i am getting one and I would like to know what they are supposed to look like and what type of cage is the best for them.
