Prairie Dogs are still relatively new to the pet world. This site offers information, pictures, and personal experiences with these adorable yet demanding creatures. Prairie dogs often stand up on their hind legs to see around them. PDs can learn their names, and respond vocally or come when called. They are very affectionate toward family members, human or otherwise.
Prairie dogs are diurnal, which means they are awake during the day and sleep at night.
PD populations have been severely depleted because of humans' misunderstanding of their important niche in the ecosystem. Not everyone is a good candidate for prairie dog adoption.
