I created this page because of my love for prairie dogs and my passion to work with other like-minded people to help them have the best life possible with the people entrusted to care for them. If you come here asking for advice regarding a critical health or behavioral issue, general prairie dog care, or for help with re-homing or adopting prairie dogs, and you don’t follow up or become proactive
in the care of this animal, (i.e. not responding to private messages or making necessary phone calls but instead keep commenting on a thread which may be misinterpreted) I will delete your post. I will no longer allow advice of such a serious nature to be given in the comments section of a thread as these unique and often misunderstood animals require special needs that must be addressed by a professional. Prairie dogs are individuals and each one is unique. The special requirements for the care of this animal, combined with the individual living dynamics of each household, make it impossible to give the advice needed via emails, Facebook posts or text messages. Passive aggressive manipulation to get a professional to respond blindly to only fragmented information instead of receiving a FREE telephone consultation for proper assistance won't be tolerated and such posts will be removed. It is the goal of this group to provide the individualized assistance this species requires by referring requests for help with this animal to a professional who will provide a FREE telephone consultation! Members who CONSISTENTLY ask for help but don’t follow up or become proactive in caring for these animals and continue to put their own agendas before the needs of the prairie dogs don’t deserve to have them and will be removed from the group. There is no room for egos here. It is all about the prairie dogs!
