Guilds can unlock this pet by completing the Critter Kill Squad guild achievement (kill 50,000 critters).
Members must be revered with their guild to purchase this pet from a guild vendor.

Okay, there's something really wrong with having to slaughter thousands of defenseless little critters to get this adorable armadillo pup. Just wait 'til D.E.H.T.A. hears about this! I could see maybe limiting it to killing the icky critters like spiders, cockroaches and snakes. Oh, and rats and maggots! And don't forget those nasty toads that look all cute until you pick them up and they... well, you get the idea.

By the time I finished the tunnel and ran back through it, the ones on the front side started spawning again.
Hands down the best place to go.
I think I got a little too "Critter Happy" (;
I managed to kill about 10k critters every 45 mins in the zg area (in a 5 man group)
One important note: there is a (horde?) quest in this spot that kills everyone there :)
Another good spot is the spider tunnel you come to in EPL when working on Mr. Grubbs
This was post Uldum sheep nerf, so i tested out a few places solo to see how quickly things could be killed and respawned.
I eventually settled on the snake boss room in ZG, and we did it in a little over an hour with 5-13 people -- varied during the course of it.
Respawns were constant, and killing speed was superfast with a macro.
Update: Grouping no longer multiplies kills per critter.
After trying the epl cave, zg and the sheep and being in a semi small guild (50ish) and me being about the only pet collector in my guild, theres a sweet spot in Krasarang Wilds http://www.wowhead.com/npc=58883 (feverbite)"elite" spider that calls upon a load of critters, i used my mage kept poly on it and killed the critters, surrounding trees also have critters much better wit 2, 1 tank the spider other kill critters surrounding the tree. Only took a few hours.
i never noticed it before, but mine is also showing as an Uncommon in my pet window, though the guild vendor and website list it as rare
My armadillo pup is green, not blue, in the battlepets viewer. However, on the armory under my collection, it still shows as blue! Is this a glitch?
So now with patch 5.0whatever I have this pet available to me from a diff toon, opposing faction, diff server. I'm having to rethink my WHOLE strategy on pet collecting. :/
Fyi, armory update is no longer a viable way to update one's collection here :(
Anyway, it's FILLED with buggies to kill. My baddie and I walked through spamming AOEs and went from 800 to 2300 in an afternoon. Another good place is the deeprun tram. the rats re-spawn really fast there.
