Customer Reviews

Great Book For Kids

This book has been a great guide for my 9y/o. He has read it cover to cover and even goes back to it when he has questions. Highly recommended.

Useful book with a lot of cute pictures!

This books is full of high-quality, cute pictures of hamsters. But also, the information within it is very good. I've been keeping pet hamsters for over ten years. I read this book shortly after I got my first hamster, and I keep on returning to it for its useful information. The books is very well written. Any new hamster owner will find it full of great information.

A Really Great Hamster Book

Before we got our hamsters, my brother and I decided to order this book so we could better care for our new pets. It was a decision I don't regret. Along with many adorable color photos, this book provides ample information for the new and not-so-new hamster owner. Covering many topics, including feeding, health, care and breeding, it has an FAQ section in the back, and also several comprehensive charts to figure out what to feed your pet, if it is healthy and, if not, what the problem is and how to solve it, and how to figure out what your hamster is trying to tell you. I really can't think of any real problems I have with this book, although the little section on color and breeds doesn't sound like other stuff I've read and I'm not sure if you should feed hansters strawberries. With a perfect mix of photos and easy-to-understand information, this is an interesting and superior pet book which belongs in every hamster owner's library.

Great resource!

This book has been a wonderful resource I have used many times to help me better understand my wonderful Teddy Bear Hamster. The pictures a great and the reccomendations are helpful. Much more than the other "pet" hamster books. This one has real useful information.

This book tells you EVERYTHING about hamsters!

This book told me everything I needed to know about hamsters. It includes how to select a hamster, how to handle a hamster, what to feed and buy them, how to breed them, and much more! It even includes the history of hamsters, like when and where they were first found! I definitely recommend this book to whoever is planning to buy one of these cute companions.
