    Handling wild animals shouldn’t be taken lightly. Pablo and Pedro started off in the wrong hands. Their former owners got them as pets and didn’t know how to care for them. As a result, the duo who got used to living with humans had to be rehomed. They ended up in a loving family, who helped them open up and live a content life.

      Not trying to alarm you but eagles and hawks love prairie dogs. You would be the best judge of airborne dangers in your region. Out west its crazy as you won't see a single bird near a prairie dog town, but if they think a Pdog is available there will be a dozen Golden Eagles and Rough Legged Hawks circling overhead.

    Prairie dogs are one of the few wild animals that can be so easily domesticated and actually become dependent upon human interaction and show and want affection. This is due to their extremely social nature. So much like horses you become part of the pack and a reallly big prairie dog.

      Any rodent will. Squirrels and Flying squirrels that are orphaned make great pets. Chipmunks are the wild version of domestic gerbils and chipmunk rescues do well. Larger mammels, raccoons and possum rescues have to be kept by pros if they can't be returned. During their mating seasons both ,(males), get aggressive and tend to bite hard. This goes on for about 6 weeks. We had some pet mice when the kids were young. One would get out of anything and cross the house and climb onto the pillow by my wifes head. We were more worried about rolling over on it. It's also quite amazing the pitties never got into it with any of the weird pets the kids brought in. They just acted like they were mini pit bulls.

I'd find them snuggled under the covers on my bed. Chasing the dog...lol...full of personality. Always getting into things, lol. I miss hearing them yahoo in the morning or greeting me when I come home. All of my guys were rescues of one kind or another. Some just because they were a little too wild... others because of the care involved. One was found running around outside, no one ever claimed him. He was my first. They are just so sweet.

    This is such a lovely story but I especially LOVE how they kept stressing that these animals, (exotic animals in general) are not something to jump into without a lot of research first and then commitment! There is a sanctuary near me that rescues exotic animals from people who weren’t prepared to properly care for them. Too many times I’ve read stories about people who think because an animal, exotic or domestic, is cute or unique, they just had to have it! Just because you can have something, it doesn’t mean you SHOULD have it! People need to remember that these are living breathing creatures who feel pain, joy, fear, hunger, and deserve commitment and to feel safe! They don’t deserve to be mistreated! Animals are NOT a toy and they should NEVER be treated as disposable! Massive kudos anyone who successfully and properly goes out of their way to be this kind of a blessing to any animal!

      Yes. Even with different kinds of domestic cats. I adopted two older Bengals. They definitely need more attention and affection. They're very intelligent and need lots of exercise, attention and mental stimulus. They figure things out, like how to use a door handle, and love challenges. They're also part wild, as some of their ancestors are Asian Leopard cats, fully wild. They've like tiny leopards. Yes, it so important to research an animal you may want to home, and be able to meet all it's needs. One of my Bengals had an interest in laptop keyboards - at home and at the Vets too - very entertaining, as well as embarrassing 😂😂😂😮😊

      Yeah, me too. Because prairie dogs make great and loving pets, but only until they hit a rutting season. Then they become very and I mean VERY aggresive. So, if they are kept as pets, they need to be castrated, which is something a professional would know and warn about. Learning by experience can cost you some fingers, or - which is worse - the life of the pet. There were cases when the prarie dog became so aggresive that they killed themselves by banging their head against the cage.

    I live in France and have owned prairie dogs since 1997 (currently 7: 4 females, 2 mature males and 1 almost 1 year old male). It is for me, a childhood dream that I realized. With good care my prairie dogs live an average of 10 years. I had one male who left me shortly before his 12th birthday. My prairie dog family follows us on our trips to Europe (Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Spain) and almost every year to Italy.
    In March I'm always excited, because it's the month of birth of the puppies and especially, the males come out of the rutting period and become adorable again. The education of the babies is great to see. Especially, seeing a prairie dog daddy teaching how to fight is great to see. He pretends to be knocked down, makes feints in his escape... just crazy.

    • @elsef6798
      @elsef6798 Год назад

      What do you feed them daily to keep them healthy? The video here was adorable but only said they were hard to keep, - no mention of the diet and if that is part of the difficulty?

    • @siem8160
      @siem8160 Год назад +1

      @@elsef6798 To start with, you always need good quality hay. I buy it from a horse breeder. Then it's endive, carrots, lamb's lettuce, rocket, cucumber, courgette, about 1 kg of dandelion per week. Apple or banana once a week. Other fruits, depending on the season, such as raspberries, blackberries, kiwi, apricots, melons, watermelons, peaches and strawberries are eaten every day. Every day they have some oats and whole carob (organic which I regularly import and which is also used to feed horses). Carrot and courgette slices in a dehydrator machine are good treats.
      For the pregnant females, they get some dried mealworms and almonds.
      Prairie dogs that are a little older or are in rut period (they lose a lot of weight) are allowed a few mealworms and almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts.
      They never get peanuts, sunflower seeds, candy or chips and other junk food for humans.
      The prairie dog deserves time and passion. The male when in rut period (late October to late March) becomes a dangerous monster. A good bite is enough to put you in hospital. It is therefore necessary to have a perfectly adapted environment, to be able to treat them very discreetly. Otherwise, it's the male's family that suffers our mischief.
      The males from 2 years onwards become a danger to other mature males (on this video they look quite young). To avoid accidents, I always separate these males with at least one female. Of course they should never be alone. 1 prairie dog must be with a prairie dog. They need to be with a family to groom, watch out environement (a bird and the lookout alerts the whole family to take shelter... but there are windows so no danger) , eat, clean and especially to play.
      When the time comes to reunite, it's an amazing party to see. I can't get enough of it... I'm just crazy about them.

    • @elsef6798
      @elsef6798 Год назад

      Thank you very much for the in depth answer :) it sounds like getting 2 females would be ideal? Or do you ever neuter males?
      1 kg of dandelion per week must be tricky to get most places? Here in northern Europe winters would be very tricky for such a supply. But it is really great how well you take care of them - they are incredibly sweet and look so healthy 😊

      @@elsef6798 I am delighted to share my experience with you.
      When you choose an animal, you have to adopt it with its qualities and its disadvantages. I would never castrate a creature for my own comfort. The rut is its identity and it's thanks to this that I can admire the magnificent baby's born prairie dogs.
      Of course 2 females can stay together, but no puppies. The experience of watching little prairie dogs grow up is great. Not easy at first, but absolutely great. You can't imagine how excited I am waiting for the puppies to be born in 5 to 15 days.
      I am French and I live 5 kilometres from Paris. For dandelions, I buy it in a huge market reserved for professionals (Rungis) where I can get dandelions. During the 3 months of winter, the available dandelion is called white dandelion (it's 3 times longer and has no chlorophyll) and during this period I add parsley to compensate with the normal dandelion (vitamin C).
      Where are you in Europe?

My PD, his name was Ranger, really loved mealworms at first but then wouldn’t touch them. Then we had to feed him grass which we grew. Keep in mind this was close to 30 years ago, so maybe things have changed. He would burrow into towels and things like that. Shred pretty much anything that was in his cage. If I remember correctly we would change his cage like a rabbits, but I let him kind of own my whole room with the door shut. He would make nests and burrow in my clothes.

      You may already know this, but others might not, so.... Wild prairie dogs are carriers of the Plague. Yeah, that one. You can get antibiotics for it now, but you can also die from it. There are now signs posted in national parks telling people this, but each time I go to one, I see the evidence of people ignoring them: mostly piles of litter, Cheetos, and Doritos on the ground. And, fat, begging prairie dogs.
      They no longer ran away the last time I visited the prairie dog town in Wind Cave National Park; they waddled toward me, asking for a handout. There was at least one that clearly could not have run to save its life, it was so fat. And it probably didn't live long: there were hawks nearby. The ground squirrels (a close relative) that live around Old Faithful in Yellowstone have had major health issues from living on human provided junk food, including the loss of their fur.
      I'm not dissing on you; sorry if it seems that I am. I cannot really blame individuals for wanting to get close to them. I just would like the wild ones to be left to be wild. I suppose they are, in places farther away from popular attractions.
      They are about my favorite wild animal, and I joke with my wife that I still plan to start a prairie dog town in our backyard. I can see how they would make affectionate pets, being the curious, social little critters that they are.
