 A recommended guide to hamsters March 11, 2002
14 out of 15 found this review helpful
This is a helpful guide if you are interested in keeping hamsters as pets or if you just want to become familiar with them. Written by Otto von Frisch, it was released in 1998. There are 64 pages, and it is in softcover format. Five chapters are included. I like the layout of the manual, the information, and the impressive color photos of the hamsters. There are handy charts, tables, and sidebars. Examples of topics covered are physical characteristics, sensory capabilities, buying a hamster, housing, breeding, handling (seven rules are included, for instance), nutrition (for example, ten important feeding rules are stated), behavior, and health. The tables--which are interspersed throughout--discuss hamster breeds at a glance, hazards for the hamster, and recognizing ailments and illnesses. There is a page that displays the ten golden rules for hamster care along with another page that outlines the hamster's body language. Also, two pages are devoted to an expert who gives answers to the ten most frequently asked questions regarding the keeping of hamsters. I find this to be a useful publication.
 A Really Great Hamster Book February 28, 2002
11 out of 13 found this review helpful
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.

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 is such a cute book! Every page has really cute pictures-even the cover! There is also lots of info and basic-but-vital things you need to know about owning/caring for/entertaining/understanding your hamster! I loved it:)
