It turns out a prairie dog is the adorable pet you never knew you wanted.

That’s if these videos from Mattie Sanders are anything to go by.

“They aren’t too difficult to take care of but they do need to be supervised when they are out or they will chew on things.”

The pair can often be seen playing together and snuggling up in videos posted to the Sanders Zoo Instagram and YouTube pages.

“I would love a white prairie dog but they are quite expensive and my husband doesn’t want any more animals,” Mattie said. “Except possibly chickens.”

For the moment they’ll have to make do with three dogs, two cats, two prairie dogs, a turtle – and of course Watson the ferret.
