Only a large, very large, rattlesnake could eat an adult prairie chicken. That pretty much rules out anything but a large western or eastern diamondback.
Its diet will consist mainly of small rodents.
Rattlesnakes would eat a prairie dog if they could catch it. However, if a rattlesnake approached a prairie dog colony, the prairie dog's "sentinels" would alert the rest of them, and they would hide in their holes. A rattlesnake could fit into the holes, but I don't think that snakes usually actively seek prey (they act more like a trap, waiting for prey to come to them).

There are rattlesnakes in Idaho. Both the prairie rattlesnake and the Great Basin rattlesnake are found there. Only the extreme northeast part of the state has no rattlenakes.
They both are in the animal kingdom and I don't know anymore?
