Thank you for your note, there is a
Thank you for your note, there is a great deal to explain this properly to you and I am happy to do so. Of course, I'm open minded and do not feel any disrespect in answering your questions, I simply ask for patience as I work alone on an international basis and most have no idea of how many people use my services worldwide or how many people I consult with daily. My primary concern when helping groups such as yours, as I help many countries with this species, is that with nutrition, one must take the thoughtful approach of considering what you feed over the long term can greatly impact their longevity. What you feed rarely may have little consequence. The challenge becomes on identifying what is something they should eat daily, versus something that should only be given very rarely on special occasion as a rare treat. Many prairie dogs under my care, as part of my ongoing nutritional research studies in a group of over 980 prairie dogs, on average live 10+ years minimum with a great number that are 13+ in age. This is something I research continually to learn more about their gastric physiology.
It is essential for you to read and understand the entirety of what I’m writing here in order to best answer your questions. If you choose to skip reading all of this information, you will continue to NOT understand the basic needs of this species and the consequences of not understanding them could jeopardize their longevity. My sole goal is to help your prairie dogs live long healthy lives where if husbandry, habitat, and nutrition are properly managed, your prairie dog could reach ages of ten or more like hundreds of mine have over the past 19 years. – Dr. Seaberg
Additionally, I welcome and am happy to discuss any of the information you will read below directly with your veterinarian if they have any questions or want to clarify any information here. They are welcome to read this information as I provided it here in English or wait to see a translated copy provided by Rainnie or Jay. They are also welcome to contact me at: Dr. Gena Seaberg – International Consultant for Prairie Dog Care Since 1995 email: kato@spro.net. If they are English speaking or have an interpreter, they are also welcome to discuss any information found here or any other captive care information via Skype. I welcome their direct dialogue as I routinely work with veterinarians in all aspects of prairie dog care including complex surgeries and a host of other issues that are unique to this species.
I will post the entirety of this information here on this information thread for those that don’t use MS Word, but I will also put a link to this entire document for your review if you want to save it to read and translate for yourself. At the end of this document I will answer your questions, but this must without reading the entirety of what I’m explaining throughout this document, you will continue to have confusion. I will also be providing links to more information that helps answer my concerns about plants that are not found in native prairie ecosystems. I’m happy to research any grass or other plant upon request as I routinely do so as part of my work and continued research.
Before I can answer your questions, it is important to fully understand that nutrition of any species is a very complex topic. Every day more information is discovered about improved nutrition in humans, so it stands to proper logic that we are continually learning with other species to improve their nutrition. As I mentioned, I specialize solely in this species, prairie dogs. My doctorate degree is solely focused on the nutrition in prairie dogs as I’m sure you learned with my development of Prairie Dog Natural from American Pet Diner. I do not divide my time among other rodent species although I could as I have my masters where my emphasis in study was rodents. I chose to specialize and dedicate myself to prairie dogs only in order to be able to fully help this species in the wild and in captivity. Instead of only having a general knowledge of many rodents, I chose to learn much much more on one type. I’ve worked with thousands (over 40,000) of them to date and am always researching this species to learn more.
To be able to have a basic understanding of prairie dogs and their nutrition, it is essential that you first read this IMPORTANT DRAFT excerpt from a comprehensive veterinarian and peer reviewed manual on both captive prairie dogs and Richardson Ground Squirrels. This book is currently accepted for veterinary instruction on both species in Europe and is in the process of being translated back into English for worldwide distribution. I co-authored many topics and segments of this book, including the nutrition information. If you speak Italian, here is a link to the book if you want to order it now. This book contains a large section specifically about nutrition that designates with images, how much of what treat items that prairie dogs as adults and pups can safely consume as a daily ration. It also contains a thorough 27-page section about toxic plants that should be avoided with these two species. This toxic plant list is limited as there are thousands of plants that can be researched to make the research never-ending. Lastly, It contains information about various surgical procedures, anatomy, physiology, habitat, captive breeding, nutrition, husbandry, and more. Here is the link: http://www.liminamentis.com/scheda-libro/autori-vari/il-cane-della-prateria-e-il-citello-9788898496174-148503.html.
Captive Nutrition – A long life span equals looking at the whole of a prairie dog’s life, not only the choices you make now. It is critically important to understand the biological aspects of this animal in its natural setting and how trying to replicate or copy its nutritional aspects in nature helps beneficially impact its longevity in captive settings!
Please take the time to read this entire section. It is a critically important element, along with other husbandry topics, to ensuring the long term health of your pet prairie dog(s) in captive settings.
Let’s begin with an absurd question to illustrate a point. Would it be responsible to feed a primate chocolate cake and birdseed as its daily diet? What if we understand that it is unhealthy, but it likes chocolate cake and birdseed more than any other food item you offer and insists on eating it, rejecting all that is suitable for its long term health, is it the right thing to provide in this circumstance? Would feeding the animal in this fashion on a continual basis decrease the animal’s lifespan? Does this choice consider the primates nutritional needs if left in its natural setting undisturbed?
Now let’s take the first set of questions one step further to drive the point home. You are now responsible for the long term care of a two-year-old human child. It is dinner time and the child sees there is candy on the kitchen counter. The child obstinately refuses to eat the vegetables, fruit, and other healthful items on her dinner plate and insists on eating the candy. What would happen if this choice were made throughout this child’s lifespan? I think the point has been made clear.
Understanding human nature is an important facet to keeping this animal in a captive setting. A responsible steward cares and takes the time in advance to thoroughly investigate the many aspects of proper long term care and general husbandry that impact the longevity of this animal and how each topic is crucial to its long-term success in your home, sanctuary, rescue, or zoo exhibit. It is human nature to overcompensate or overindulge in many aspects of life and this is especially true when it comes to food.
Another important element to consider here concerns the purpose of why people obtain pets in general. Many people have differing reasons for obtaining any animal as a pet. Some choose to have pets solely for purposes of self-gratification and edification. The animal is there purely to fill the human’s need. They want the animal to make them happy; little is done on behalf of this sort of person to find out what it takes to become a responsible steward of the animal in their possession. This person will overindulge their pet with little thought because it is easier, cuter, and more convenient and appealing than doing the right thing. This is the person that would feed the chocolate cake and birdseed to the primate and quite possibly lose in the fight with the two-year-old over the candy and give in instead of doing what’s right. They don’t consider the long term consequences of their actions because for just this once, it’s no big deal. They don’t realize that their actions now set the foundation or blueprint for a long and healthy life.
Responsible pet owners understand that you must thoroughly research an animal and its needs before making any sort of acquisition. They do not act impulsively in their day-to-day choices but consider long term consequences of their actions and how their choices impact the overall health of their pet later in its life.
Additionally, a caretaker also grasps that even if you’ve done your research and thorough due diligence, as with any living being, you can only do your best to care for it. Certain unforeseen factors relating to genetics, congenital birth defects, inbreeding, premature births or early weaning can impact the lifespan of an animal as well. As humans we see it every day, someone that was in remarkable physical condition dies unexpectedly. There is no rhyme or reason, it just happens. However, that is no excuse to not try your best to take optimal care of yourself or those under your care.
Lastly, the responsible steward comprehends that one of the most fundamental elements in the area of nutrition is to consider the animal’s biology. To do this, one must understand its natural setting. Once you grasp the animal’s biology and natural setting, you try to

My primary concern when helping groups such as yours, as I help many countries with this species, is that with nutrition, one must take the thoughtful approach of considering what you feed over the long term can greatly impact their longevity. What you feed rarely may have little consequence. The challenge becomes on identifying what is something they should eat daily, versus something that should only be given very rarely on special occasion as a rare treat. Many prairie dogs under my care, as part of my ongoing nutritional research studies in a group of over 980 prairie dogs, on average live 10+ years minimum with a great number that are 13+ in age. This is something I research continually to learn more about their gastric physiology.
It is essential for you to read and understand the entirety of what I’m writing here in order to best answer your questions. If you choose to skip reading all of this information, you will continue to NOT understand the basic needs of this species and the consequences of not understanding them could jeopardize their longevity. My sole goal is to help your prairie dogs live long healthy lives where if husbandry, habitat, and nutrition are properly managed, your prairie dog could reach ages of ten or more like hundreds of mine have over the past 19 years. – Dr. Seaberg
Additionally, I welcome and am happy to discuss any of the information you will read below directly with your veterinarian if they have any questions or want to clarify any information here. They are welcome to read this information as I provided it here in English or wait to see a translated copy provided by Rainnie or Jay. They are also welcome to contact me at: Dr. Gena Seaberg – International Consultant for Prairie Dog Care Since 1995 email: kato@spro.net. If they are English speaking or have an interpreter, they are also welcome to discuss any information found here or any other captive care information via Skype. I welcome their direct dialogue as I routinely work with veterinarians in all aspects of prairie dog care including complex surgeries and a host of other issues that are unique to this species.
I will post the entirety of this information here on this information thread for those that don’t use MS Word, but I will also put a link to this entire document for your review if you want to save it to read and translate for yourself. At the end of this document I will answer your questions, but this must without reading the entirety of what I’m explaining throughout this document, you will continue to have confusion. I will also be providing links to more information that helps answer my concerns about plants that are not found in native prairie ecosystems. I’m happy to research any grass or other plant upon request as I routinely do so as part of my work and continued research.
Before I can answer your questions, it is important to fully understand that nutrition of any species is a very complex topic. Every day more information is discovered about improved nutrition in humans, so it stands to proper logic that we are continually learning with other species to improve their nutrition. As I mentioned, I specialize solely in this species, prairie dogs. My doctorate degree is solely focused on the nutrition in prairie dogs as I’m sure you learned with my development of Prairie Dog Natural from American Pet Diner. I do not divide my time among other rodent species although I could as I have my masters where my emphasis in study was rodents. I chose to specialize and dedicate myself to prairie dogs only in order to be able to fully help this species in the wild and in captivity. Instead of only having a general knowledge of many rodents, I chose to learn much much more on one type. I’ve worked with thousands (over 40,000) of them to date and am always researching this species to learn more.
To be able to have a basic understanding of prairie dogs and their nutrition, it is essential that you first read this IMPORTANT DRAFT excerpt from a comprehensive veterinarian and peer reviewed manual on both captive prairie dogs and Richardson Ground Squirrels. This book is currently accepted for veterinary instruction on both species in Europe and is in the process of being translated back into English for worldwide distribution. I co-authored many topics and segments of this book, including the nutrition information. If you speak Italian, here is a link to the book if you want to order it now. This book contains a large section specifically about nutrition that designates with images, how much of what treat items that prairie dogs as adults and pups can safely consume as a daily ration. It also contains a thorough 27-page section about toxic plants that should be avoided with these two species. This toxic plant list is limited as there are thousands of plants that can be researched to make the research never-ending. Lastly, It contains information about various surgical procedures, anatomy, physiology, habitat, captive breeding, nutrition, husbandry, and more. Here is the link: http://www.liminamentis.com/scheda-libro/autori-vari/il-cane-della-prateria-e-il-citello-9788898496174-148503.html.
Captive Nutrition – A long life span equals looking at the whole of a prairie dog’s life, not only the choices you make now. It is critically important to understand the biological aspects of this animal in its natural setting and how trying to replicate or copy its nutritional aspects in nature helps beneficially impact its longevity in captive settings!
Please take the time to read this entire section. It is a critically important element, along with other husbandry topics, to ensuring the long term health of your pet prairie dog(s) in captive settings.
Let’s begin with an absurd question to illustrate a point. Would it be responsible to feed a primate chocolate cake and birdseed as its daily diet? What if we understand that it is unhealthy, but it likes chocolate cake and birdseed more than any other food item you offer and insists on eating it, rejecting all that is suitable for its long term health, is it the right thing to provide in this circumstance? Would feeding the animal in this fashion on a continual basis decrease the animal’s lifespan? Does this choice consider the primates nutritional needs if left in its natural setting undisturbed?
Now let’s take the first set of questions one step further to drive the point home. You are now responsible for the long term care of a two-year-old human child. It is dinner time and the child sees there is candy on the kitchen counter. The child obstinately refuses to eat the vegetables, fruit, and other healthful items on her dinner plate and insists on eating the candy. What would happen if this choice were made throughout this child’s lifespan? I think the point has been made clear.
Understanding human nature is an important facet to keeping this animal in a captive setting. A responsible steward cares and takes the time in advance to thoroughly investigate the many aspects of proper long term care and general husbandry that impact the longevity of this animal and how each topic is crucial to its long-term success in your home, sanctuary, rescue, or zoo exhibit. It is human nature to overcompensate or overindulge in many aspects of life and this is especially true when it comes to food.
Another important element to consider here concerns the purpose of why people obtain pets in general. Many people have differing reasons for obtaining any animal as a pet. Some choose to have pets solely for purposes of self-gratification and edification. The animal is there purely to fill the human’s need. They want the animal to make them happy; little is done on behalf of this sort of person to find out what it takes to become a responsible steward of the animal in their possession. This person will overindulge their pet with little thought because it is easier, cuter, and more convenient and appealing than doing the right thing. This is the person that would feed the chocolate cake and birdseed to the primate and quite possibly lose in the fight with the two-year-old over the candy and give in instead of doing what’s right. They don’t consider the long term consequences of their actions because for just this once, it’s no big deal. They don’t realize that their actions now set the foundation or blueprint for a long and healthy life.
Responsible pet owners understand that you must thoroughly research an animal and its needs before making any sort of acquisition. They do not act impulsively in their day-to-day choices but consider long term consequences of their actions and how their choices impact the overall health of their pet later in its life.
Additionally, a caretaker also grasps that even if you’ve done your research and thorough due diligence, as with any living being, you can only do your best to care for it. Certain unforeseen factors relating to genetics, congenital birth defects, inbreeding, premature births or early weaning can impact the lifespan of an animal as well. As humans we see it every day, someone that was in remarkable physical condition dies unexpectedly. There is no rhyme or reason, it just happens. However, that is no excuse to not try your best to take optimal care of yourself or those under your care.
Lastly, the responsible steward comprehends that one of the most fundamental elements in the area of nutrition is to consider the animal’s biology. To do this, one must understand its natural setting. Once you grasp the animal’s biology and natural setting, you try to
