Depending on where you live, many pet stores sell prairie dog pups usually in the spring time (Since this is when their breeding season is). They make the best pets if cared for properly. They require a ton of attention and out of cage play time. At least 1hr EVERY day. They can also get into a lot of trouble if the room has not been prairie dog proofed or with out pretty constant supervision (I.E. couch chewing, carpet destroying, wire chewing). They also tend to get extremely lonely if you only have 1. But if you have 2 different sexes, Rut (breeding season Oct-March) becomes very difficult. Same sex pairs are ideal.
Due to ppl buying prairie dogs on a whim, Craigslist almost always has them for rehome once the owners realize that they are honestly a lot of work. But if you are willing you will most definitely be rewarded tenfold!!! There are groups on facebook dedicated to these amazing animals if you are truly interested in an amazing experience. They are Prairie Dog play ground, and Black Tailed Prairie Dogs. There is a woman named Gena on those groups that will help you with everything you need before bringing one home.
