Prairie dog

Dose anyone have tips on how to make my pup to start drinking her water bottle. I got a smaller metal straw for it so she isn’t scared and would put sweet potatoes baby food at the end just a little bit and she will just lick it off and then just walk away. Should I syringe feed her water?

Where can I get a prairie dog?

Hello, I recently made a post talking about my prairie dog that recently passed away. It has been hard but we are getting through it. A lot of people recommended we get new prairie dogs, so the other one (cuddle) isn’t sad and lonely. I’ve talked with my family and we have decided that that would not be a bad idea. One problem, we don’t know where to buy from. We live in Florida and everything out of state that we’ve looked at either doesn’t ship, or is crazy expensive to ship. Does anyone know anywhere in Florida that has pups? Preferably 2? Or anywhere that ships for a reasonable price? Please let me know, we are running out of time due to the time of year so please let me know. Thank you so much

Prairie dog

It’s only the 4th day of owning walter( it’s a girl) she has been sneezing since we first got her it was only a little bit and light so I thought nothing of it. Now it’s the 4th day and she stopped eating her milk and just wants to burrow and sleep and puked once and is having diarrhea. I’m literally heart broken all the vets that can take her are closed we have to wait till tomorrow morning. I feel as I did something wrong but I know she’s just sick I’m assuming. If anyone can give Tips how I can hold her over with her milk so she’s isn’t dehydrated I would appreciate it, thank you.

Help

So I made a post about my prairie dog the other day. Unfortunately, she passed in her sleep yesterday. I just need help with making sure her brother doesn’t get lonely. My parents go to work and my sister and I go to school. Which means that he will be all by himself all day long in silence. I don’t want him to get depressed or lonely. What can I do?

Prairie dog pup

HELP?! It’s day 2 of owning my pup and it’s a girl at first she was scared and didn’t wanna be held when I had to feed her so she bit me so I’ve been wearing sock hands from there on lol. But it’s day 2 and she’s not scared of me she’s more curious she runs towards me climbs all over me and I don’t have to wear sock hands BUT she constantly tries to bite me and not just me, it’s like nibbling but if u don’t move your fingers away she bites down hard and you can bleed. I’m just kind of confused on why she is doing so? Is she mad? Scared? Or is she just hungry 247 and biting is her telling us she is hungry?

Please help

I have a 11 year old dog named Chubbs. About 4-5 years ago she got worms really bad. She beat them and survived, and got her appetite back, but never really put the weight back on. We sit here today and for the last 3 weeks she has really lost her back legs. She’s tiny, eats very slow, and this morning she had diarrhea. I’ve been giving her critical care for the last month probably, but to no success. Today’s the worst I’ve seen her. Is it time to put her down? I really don’t want to lose her.

Struggling to find a place to buy a second prairie dog.

My first prairie dog, I got in 2021 and I feel she needs a friend. I don't want to buy from the same place I got her from but I can't find many places. Where do you all get your prairie dogs from?

Critter Nation Question

Hi everyone! I currently have 1 prairie dog in a Critter Nation cage and may possibly be adopting 2 more. I want to add some space to the cage and have access to an empty Critter Nation. I’m wondering if it is possible to place one on top of the other to create a 2 story cage vs. buying the add-on unit. I know I probably need to replace the ceiling/floor with some type of connecting piece so they can go between them. Any ideas?

I'm building a setting with prairie dogs as a secretly sapient species hiding in the modern world alongside intelligent crows, rats, ferrets, etc. What sort of personality and culture would prairie dogs have based on their real-life traits?
