I did not know they weren't here in the States. I know some pet shops sell them. That is how my niece got hers. She was working there and brought it home. When we have animal shows for the kids here at school, they sometimes bring them.

Well, I should say, they're not in the wild, in the backyard, in the States. I think you can get almost anything in a pet shop. I saw a prairie dog once and all I could think of was "black plague" ;) when I saw it, plus if it got loose, a big hole in the yard.
I am such a product of the modern age. I think of praire dog and I get this image of modern business workers popping up from their work cubicles when someone mentions the word donut!!!
