Japanese yen for prairie dogs fuels pet trade in Colorado
Prairie dogs fetch up to 200 dollars or more in Japan as pets but Colorado officials refuse to permit shipping live wildlife overseas. Keyes-Candelaria of Red River Exotic Pets cites demand and a 15 day quarantine by Japan, while the state Division of Wildlife limits export and deems prairie dogs wildlife. Legislators eye potential rancher benefits though rules remain unchanged.
