Got this interesting footage from one of my cameras at a prairie dog town at the Nature Conservancy's Niobrara Valley Preserve in Keya Paha County, Nebraska. In the 1st clip, a Black-Tailed Prairie Dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) seen standing close to the camera calling an alarm, then a prairie dog (possibly the same one sounding the alarm) is seen near a burrow off in the distance. In the final clip, a Coyote (Canis latrans) is seen at the burrow. Will the Coyote succeed? Watch and find out!

This is bear! i got him two days ago and he’s super super active and im literally inlove with this little dude! show me your guys rodents/gerbils!

Tail seems exceptionally long.

22 February I got 2 degus from two different breeders, they were supposed to be girls but one of them is a male and I now have 3 babies. I can’t keep all of them but I want them to have a chance at good life, where can I look for someone to take them? What to do now? When can I give the babies away? I’m so sad I can’t keep them all but I’m not prepared to care for 5 degus, how do I care for babies?

So my gerbil for the last couple days has been slow going and has recently perked up a bit. They’re getting a little old 1yr 4mth but he has been moving around more since the past two days. Today I noticed that his eye had whatever this is around it, I had noticed that one of his eyes was a bit more shut but thought nothing of it. Is it anything serious if treatable advice on how would be greatly appreciated! (His brother is also perfectly fine)
