Wrap one out of excellsior. then for the legs wrap cotton or more excellsior and thread around some wire until you get the correct size. get the excellsior damp first with a little Lysol and water so you can wrap a tighter body

When I mount on a wrapped body in a situation like this, I like to leave the leg bones attached.
you can clean them off the same way you'd do a duck, and wire them into position when you mount the animal.
This method will help you properly shape and position the legs.

However, back to your first question-----McKenzie, Van Dyke's, Touchstone, and Jonas all have prairie dog forms.

Good Luck
Dave
