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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Sound the same in a dogs mouth too
I like how in the beginning he was just laying down like a pancake. 😂😭
To be fair I feel the same way when somebody is trying to get me out of bed.
Yeah, I bet the kid pestering the prairie dog would have a fit if someone pestered him that much.
lol
The turning radius on this model is superb
1. I didn't know they could be pets.
2. I didn't know they had such a personality on them. LMFAO he is straight up cussing them out in squeaks.
I'd imagine they're pretty similar to a squirrel and they make fantastic pets!!!
