Which ferret eats prairie dogs?
Wild ferrets (and European polecats) eat small rodents like mice, rats voles and rabbits. Amphibians like frogs and toads are also on the menu but probably hard to find on the prairie. A smaller part of their diet consists of small birds and insects and bird eggs. 90% of the meals of the black footed ferret consist of prairie dogs.
What type of fish live in the grassland ponds?
As long as it's not so shallow that it would completely freeze over to the bottom, I would recommend getting a type of Goldfish called Comets. They are colorful, so you can see them from above and will always forage for food, keeping mosquito larvae in check. They are sometime considered as feeder fish so they are usually inexpensive.

A grassland animal that starts with the letter x?
There is a type of African ground squirrel called the xerus that can live in grasslands.
They are not the same at all. The only similarity is that they are both rodents. Voles have larger heads and their ears and eyes are much smaller (their eyes are barely even visible!) Their tails are an inch long or shorter, they have short legs (to keep them low to protect themselves against predators) and they have different teeth. Voles target the garden more than any other rodent, and when interested in a plant, it will most certainly be doomed. They actually chew from the ROOT of the plant, so it will not recover.
Voles are bad climbers and will usually not enter homes, so no need to worry!
If you have voles around your home, PROTECT YOUR PLANTS! They love deep vegetation.
