Excellent: Ferrets 101
Although I liked the companion book (Training Your Pet Ferret) more, this is an excellent concise guide for someone who knows nothing about ferrets. This is not a book for anyone who has even a working knowledge about ferretbehavior. But then again I haven't found a good guide yet that goes indepth into ferret matters for those of us who know the basics about them,but would like to know more.

Not bad, but not great either
While some of the information is unique to this book (like the part about ferret sounds and body language) there are some alarming errors (a ferret should NEVER be housed in an aquarium!).Use it as an additionalreference, but not your primary one.You should have several differentsources to refer to anyway.

10 Years Hardly Made Any Difference
There are many more up-to-date reference books on the Domestic Pet Ferret. It's an add to my Ferret book collection only. I recommend researching all books available before deciding to be owned by Ferrets.

Please don't buy this book, you may hurt your Ferret!
As a keeper of Ferrets here in England I was appalled when I was given this book as a present for Christmas 98'. There are a number of really quite harmful and cruel elements to this book This could not be further from the truth. The Ferret is a highly socialanimal and they should really be kept in a minimum of threes, two femalesand a male.

De-scenting. This is a highly controversial pracn integral part of theanimals communication system and to remove them just for the delicatenostrils of the owner is really very unfair on the animal.

To say thatFerrets release odour when in fear of their life is quite innaccurate.Ferrets release an odour when they are excited, prior to eating, beforehunting or going for a walk.

Within the book the subject of housing theFerret is not covered at all satisfatorily, to suggest that a Ferret needsa cage of only 10 inches in height is cruel. Ferrets are climbers by ntaureand mine reguarly climb the seven feet to the top of their 6 foot by 6 footcourt. There is scant reference to the correct size and positioning of anoutdoor court and cub.

I could go on, but frankly the 1000 word limit israpidly running out. But for those die hards amongst you who rate thisbook, just refer to the "My tip" on page 23, advising the reader"never to strike the Ferret's body" This lady must really havebeen struggling for something to write if she thinks that the averageFerret loving reader would hit such a small animal!

The picture of the"White-footed butterscotch" on page 41 is further testament tothis authors own ineptitude, either if this Ferret is her own or thepicture is from a library, it should never have been used in a referencebook. The poor animal's nails are clearly too long and should have beentrimmed, if they grow much further they'll grow back under themselves! PoorFerret.

One thing this "guide" is not is complete!

In short,don't waste your money. There has to be a much better guide out theresomwhere! By the way, the only reason I gave this book one star is becausethe review software won't let you choose none! ... Read more

Good for absolute novices to betta fish care - an inexpensive bare basics start
The coverage for betta specific care is useful, if not super user-friendly. Of all the betta care books, this one is probably the most useful for the novice betta owner.

There is also some information for the intermediate-level owner. Discussions include great definitions on true and mixed colors, types of finnage and layman's discussions on what color and fin traits are dominant.

The disease section is fine, but (like most betta books) relies too heavily on dumping in the medications and antibiotics. It does recommend better prophylactic care - like clean water - and at least recommends trying salt regimes before breaking out the bigger meds. Don't look for any pictures of fish diseases, however - there is just one picture of a female betta with dropsy.

The basic betta care section touches on just that - the bare basics. There is enough information to get started, but not the kind of in-depth pet-owning information I personally would appreciate. I guess that is why this book is in the "Quick and Easy" series.

I would also rather the betta care information be organized better, with bullets and easy-to-find section headings. Maybe this is just being picky.

This is probably the best betta book for beginners, with lots of great photos and a decent amount of care information. It's a very inexpensive book and worth picking up for yourself, or as a thoughtful little betta keeper's gift.

A little too basic
Betta Care is a well written book with excellent pictures of "Siamese Fighting Fish."If you have only one source of information at hand, this will serve you well.

Unfortunately, there is another source of information that will serve you well at a much smaller cost - the Internet.Though this book is a handy way to get all the information in one place, you can get the same info (as well as all the good pictures) on many different websites.

My recommendation:If you are the type of person who likes to have the info in black and white in front of them, buy this book.If you're the type of person who spends a lot of time on the web, get the same info for free.

Betta Care
The book had a lot more information for breederds than for beginners,
but the information that a beginner could use, was very good.

It's A Life Saver
This book is exactly what it says, Quick and Easy.The chapter on white spot was a real life saver for our betta.We followed the instructions and quess what? It worked.

Best Chinchilla Book Ever
I have owned chinchillas for many years now and this is the best book that I have found. This author has put together a lot of helpful information with a little whimsy. From providing us basic knowledge of the chinchilla, to the need for exercise and proper feeding. A chinchilla is not like any pet that you will ever own and this book gets it right. It also provides a smile when you see all the great photographs that go along with the information. I love the one that has an Ebony Chinchilla and peeking out from underneath her is a little white chinchilla kit. I have had the pleasure of spending lots of time with my chinchillas and even traveling with them. I have a few chinchilla babies each year and I recommend this book to all my clients. It is well researched and a valuable resource.

lots of good information! however...
when I saw the page where they reccomend a ball as a run toy for your chin I was like wtf... Chinchillas should NEVER be put in one of those balls. They can overheat and get there paws stuck yet alone if they get scared and cant get out! ... Read more
