The Hamster Handbook

by Patricia P. Bartlett

"Barron's Pet Handbooks" look very much like Barron's "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals, " but the "Handbooks" are larger--more pages, more text, more color photos, and more detailed pet-care advice. This brand-new title will be of special value to parents of younger kids who are keeping hamsters, to older children who can read the book on their own, and of course, to adults who keep hamsters as a hobby. The author explains everything hamster owners need to know about the animal's life cycle, traits, breeding, feeding, caging, treating health problems--and simply keeping hamsters happy with appropriate toys and exercise accessories.

Very useful book! And funny too :) Very useful information about cages, toys, what to give what to avoid, food, health etc. All what we need to know about hamsters. I have never had a hamster so I really appreciate that this book made me ready for our new family member: Popcorn the Hamster.

This book covers the basics of owning a hamster. There is a lot you need to know and this book can be a good starting point.
