Would have to live outside like every other rabbit. Two problems: 1) the hawks. If a hawk will eat a rabbit, a chipmunk, a squirrel, a field mouse, it would definitely make a meal of a viscacha. 2) Winter. What's it going to do when it's 10 degrees and five inches of snow? Hibernate? Bring it inside until spring?
You could legally own a viscacha as a pet, but they are considered "exotic pets" and therefore have strict regulations on their capture and sale. You must be very careful to find a reputable dealer or else you could be charged with smuggling or other crimes.
I'm very interested in having one of these beautiful fur babies as a pet how would we go about getting one? We live in Indiana.

The Viscacha is related to the chinchilla which is found in many pet stores and may be a better choice. If you have a strong desire to purchase a Viscacha a trip to south america might be needed, because you would only be able to get it from residents or hunters of areas where they live.
