[post_page_title]Praire Dogs[/post_page_title]
Praire dogs are so cute and small… how could they be dangerous to touch? Because they’re a common food source for many predators (coyotes, eagles, badgers, etc.), they get quite jumpy and tend to be a bit snippy. They don’t make the best pets, regardless of their intelligence and social nature, because they’re big on biting to protect themselves. If you do get bitten by a prairie dog, it’s important to remember that they’re still carriers of the bubonic plague disease that wiped out half of Europe. If that isn’t enough to deter you from this cute critters, take into account their sharp claws. They’re quick, clever, and good at cutting.
