He doesn't want to go back to his cage because he wants to stay in my bed. He calms down in the end. Please follow me on Instagram for more Prairie dog cuteness, account cybercat00. Thank You so much.
theyre actually VERY friendly. my moms prairie dog let me scratch him all over but they only get angry when they find out youre trying to put them back in the cage cus they wanna play
They should never be in a cage do you put your dog or cat in a cage after your finished playing with it? Its a sick and wery wrong and it is animal torture to fixicate animals for 10 /15 /20 hours in small cages each day of the year to its death. Your should try to be maintaind in a littel Cage where others rule your life completly
@@bjrnkristensen8132 I totally agree it is very sick and wrong, and it's animal torture to fixate humans for 8 / 10 /12 hours in small office spaces each day of the year, working them to death. Employer's and CEO's and the upper 1% should be maintained in little cages where others rule over their lives completely 🤣🤣
@@PuchuKt then don't take care of a prairie dog,since it's much more intelligent than your cat and can create a society underground with a very complex way of communication.they are not animals for you to cater for your entertainment and closure let alone put in a small a$s cage like it's a hamster
@@prowl2252 i shown those videos to my prairie dog and he reacted in a scary way, he started getting mad and he kept running from me until the next day. It was kinda funny😂
I went to our local zoo some years ago (which had an elephant and polar bears and all kinds of exotic animals) and was completely mesmerized by the goings-on in the Prairie Dog enclosure. It was the highlight of my visit. I grew up on the Canadian prairies so am no stranger to Prairie Dogs, but watching them close up as they dug their tunnels and got into all kind of family dramas with each other because one was digging and throwing soil and burying the entrance way of one of their buddies until the fight was on . . . it was beyond entertaining!
@@rockwellrhodes7703 We do have prairie dogs in Canada, rhe black-tailed prairie dog is only found in Canada in and around the west block of Grasslands National Park, the black-tailed prairie dog is a member of the squirrel family and is closely related to the ground squirrel. Prairie dogs are very social animals.
Shellie Rodarmel when my prairie dog Rocky died I was devastated too. I still haven’t recovered yet. I miss him so much. He was precious to me. My only friend and company. I will always love him. Thank you so much for your nice comment. Have a nice day.
They can actually communicate details about predators (like size, shape, color, etc) to each other by varying the pitch and length of their barks. Their commincation ability is similar to crows.
Through studies, zoologists have found that prairie dogs from completely different packs are able to communicate specific details to each other the first time they meet. Even humans cannot do that.
No, squeaky toys sound like him. The squeak of the toy is similar to the sound that a rodent makes when it's being killed by a predator. Don't forget your dog and cat are predators.
I had a little female prairie dog. Her name was Peety, she was my best friend for nine years. I miss her dearly. Once in a while she would get angry and I could always buy her off with a banana chip, pistachio or a carob treat. It would win her little heart and she would just want to kiss me and go about the next thing. Thanks for the time, and the love Peety, I miss you.
FunFact: The Prairie Dog communication is so complex that they can tell others about the people in thier territory in great detail. Like right down to what a person is wearing.
This is according to one biologist, but I believe that the methodologies we use to assess animal communication is highly speculative by its very nature.
@@ChipCheerio True. Yet the claim here has at least some verifiable elements. In the end, we humans have less control and understanding than we like to admit, and we tend to underestimate other animals, forgetting we are animals, too.
@@alexiswilliamsinc Which elements do you believe are verifiable? I believe the claim that they can relay information about clothing to other prairie dogs to be very difficult to support along with the term "great detail" to be a gross overstatement. We are animals, but we're vastly more intelligent than even the next runner up. The ability to create language and express things that aren't real demonstrates that very well. I think we tend to be too charitable towards animals in regards to their intelligence and reflect our desire for them to be smarter than they really are onto them. Evidenced by all those great ape sign language studies, almost all of which turned out to be nothing more than human's interpreting what they wanted to see.
@@ChipCheerio Difficult to support does not mean the research can’t be done. I used the word verifiable purposely, because there are ways to triangulate information that is passed from animal to animal without speech or other human-centric methods of communication. I would want to see the research behind the claim before I guessed at their measures, but I imagine there was some analysis of animal sounds, body movement, and subsequent behavior by the recipient animal that had to do with clothing and/or other physical features relevant to such animals. Generally, prey animals tend to have sophisticated methods of environment observation and communication for survival. This begins to get into the idea of what qualifies as intelligence so I’d rather not. There is a lot more current research, however, beyond primate sign language.
Bout 30 years ago my pet store had a Prairie Dog for sale. Ct. 200 bucks. Reached down with my finger, he reached thru the cage, put his paw on my finger and just looked up at me, staring. Will never forget. Woulda done it but 200 bucks!!
fuck the 200 Bucks dude you'll get the best Friend in Life!! Got myself 2 Chipmunks and a Canadian Red Squirrel... they are the best i swear Mia got 2 Chipmunk Babies in her Nest right now😍
I knew a prairie dog named Red. he would run and jump up on your leg like a dog. He loved to be picked up and would roll onto his back immediately after being picked up. He'd take his belly rubs and within seconds he would be sleeping. So adorable.
@@GregoryTheGr8ster I know I'm replying to a 4 year old comment but still. I hope you managed to get treatment for your schizophrenia. Also, I heard democrats worship child molesters and communists.
I owned a prairie dog for years and I learned that this kid needs to leave it the hell alone. They do not mess around. I have a scar on one of my fingers to prove it.
Holy shit my friend had one of these I loved him so much my friend finally said to me,r you coming here to see me or the prairy dog god there so sweet!
@@timothywade9982 this might be late but it is scientifically,math can't solve everything.its called natural selection/desirable breeding.domestic animals like dogs are living evidences of that.gtfo
Tiana Scott Just be careful that your little one doesn't fall or break his teeth because that will really affect them. They can get Odontoma. Thank you so much for the nice comment and for watching
Oh yes, I'm well aware. My little boy is 5 and his friend died from what I suspect was odontoma a few years back. My floor is carpet too so if he did fall it'd be nicely cushioned :)
Ours does the same exact thing. He hates being put away. When yours gets in trouble or gets angry does he headbutt things? It sounds silly, but when ours is throwing a fit he jumps on the couch and hammers it with his head.
I know this video was made years ago, but does anyone know how to play with pet prairie dogs? I know it sounds like a stupid question; but I've been doing research, and apparently if you're getting one they need a LOT of attention. So when I take them outside the cage, what do I do to entertain them? I have a guinea pig, but all he really does is sleep on my lap. I have NO idea what to do with them besides petting them.
I Am Bread If you get one, he or she will get really attached to you and will love you forever. They love to play just like any other small dog. But be careful, make sure the Prairie dog doesn’t fell off from a high level because it will break his teeth and eventually in the future suffer from Odontoma. That will be very sad. Because then the Prairie dog will need an operation and it can be devastating. They will love his owner to death and just give them lots of love and attention and that’s all they need. It’s better if you can get 2. So they will keep each other’s company while you’re away. They are very affectionate and smart. Hope this helps.
peligrosa00 Thanks for the fast reply! The thing is, I never had a dog, so can they be taught to play fetch or anything like that? Also, if the prairie dogs weren't raised together, is there a chance they'd fight? Sorry if I'm bombarding you with questions. I'm just trying to find out more about them since I'm considering getting one or two. ^^
I Am Bread if you have Facebook I can give you the name of 2 expert persons I know that will answer any of your questions. They have 100% experience with prairie dogs. One person name is Michele Lynn Natalino and the other one is Dr. Gena Seaberg. I used to have one, but he fall down from his cage and broke his front teeth, and after a few months he got Odontoma and need it lots of surgery’s to try to keep him alive. It was devastating for me when he died. But they are very playful and I don’t think you will have a problem introducing a new one to the one you have. They are very friendly and will accept each other. There’s that friend on Facebook and she have like 15 prairie dogs. Michele Lynn Natalino. You can ask her any question about prairie dogs. I know they like to play with toys and jump and run all over the house. That’s why you can’t live them alone without supervision. They are like little kids. Lol. Let me know if you have any other question.
