Two Prairie Dogs remain here at the Zoo - Maxine and Skeeter. Over the years I lost Bonzi!, Sassafras and Zipper to old age,
tumors and odontoma, respectively. Although they will ever remain in my heart, I do not plan to acquire any more because
of the traumatic way they are captured in the wild. I purchased Bonzi! and Zipper in 2000, the other ones came to me when
people realized they didn't have the time or resources to handle an exotic pet like a Prairie Dog.
PLEASE REMEMBER PRAIRIE DOGS ARE NOT LIKE CATS AND DOGS - THEY REQUIRE SPECIAL CARE, FOOD AND AN EXOTIC VETERINARIAN WILLING
TO TREAT THEM. YOU MUST ADAPT TO THE PRAIRIE DOG, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!
