Customer Reviews

Pet owners guide to the rat: an interesting and thouroughly enjoyable piece
I found this book very helpful on the subject of rat care and in particular on showing your animals. It covers subjects including breeding, colours (although only breif descriptions of the colours are used) and feeding as well as other common problems involving rat care. It is a great read and would recommend it for both older children (8 upwards) and adults. It uses easily relatable terms and addresses the reader in a way that both can understand; it is a good book for first time owners.
