Prairie dogs are a lot like iguanas in that they make good pets for a few selective people. They need constant social interaction - they are not a cage rodent like a hamster. In the winter they go through what is known as 'rut' and become extremely antisocial. Some of them go almost psychotic... and then in the spring they suddenly become friendly again. Many people can't deal with that. They have a few other issues, like dietary requirements. They can't have rodent blocks, commercial rodent foods, or alfalfa. *shrug*
Again... sure, they -can- be good pets. For some people. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
