Just over 100 pages of pure dwarf hamsters and everything that you would need to know about them. Perfect for the tween-aged first-time dwarf hamster owner. If you need help deciding which breed of hamster is perfect for you, then hit this book up and you will be opened up to the wonderful world of dwarf hamsters! Great, comprehensive information about dwarf hamsters. It really is a complete pet owner's manual.

I was hoping for something better. Most of it has to do with breeding which is something I'm not interested in. Cute pictures and some decent information but it mostly feels like a bunch of filler. I've read other books from their line that I love but Dwarf hamsters only gets a three star rating from me.

It didn't tell me everything I needed to know. Also, it sometimes told me things that were the exact opposite of what another book told me.
