Prairie dogs are absolutely adorable and can be wonderful companion pets! Despite their misleading name, they are not dogs at all, but are actually rodents closely related to the flying squirrel. Prairie dogs have been beloved as captive pets for many decades. One of the main reasons why prairie dogs are so popular is because of their large and unique personalities. Many of our customers have multiple prairie dogs, and we highly recommend creating small, same-colony groups. Prairie dogs are incredibly entertaining pets when placed in the right environment. Get ready for endless fun with these amazing creatures!
