Dave,

    I would strongly discourage getting prairie dogs as pets.  I work
at the Baltimore Zoo as a junior keeper, and the senior keepers told us
that even though prarie dogs look cute, they are very mean.  Other then
that, you would need to make an accurate habitat for them which could
be quite expensive!
