Customer Reviews

Brilliant
I got this book 2 years ago when my hamster had an unexpected litter. Since then I have found myself referring back to it time and time again. It contains very detailed, but straighforward help on choosing a hamster, and caring for it, the anatomy of the hamster, A-Z of hamster diseases, breeding, and showing them. There are also beautiful photos of hamsters. I have 17 years of hamster experience, and still found this book to contain things I didn't know about hamsters. I would recommend this book to any hamster owner, no matter what experience you have. A truly brilliant book.
