Customer Reviews:
Should definitely read before getting a dwarf bunny.......2004-12-25
The book's design and photos are very pleasing (& very cute!). The author offers much useful and easy to understand advice. If you're looking into getting a bunny or just became an owner of one, I highly recommend this book because it will make you & your bunny's lives easier. It gives you tips on how to bond with your bunny, what to do and what NOT to do with him/her. I made the mistake of not having read this book before raising my bunny. I did things that I thought were completely normal to do (I have 2 very small dogs & have had many animals before) but were totally inappropriate when it comes to rabbits. Just being caring and loving is not enough. You need to learn to care and love the right way to ensure a happy and enjoyable life for the both of you.
Dwarf Rabbits.......2002-06-11
I read the paperback edition, which I enjoyed immensely. The information is presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. The pictures are precious! The cutest rabbit in the world is on page 9, a purebred Thuringian dwarf. I wish I could find a rabbit like that one! If you read this book, you will definitely want a rabbit for a pet.
Unfortunately I was late!.......2000-01-26
I am sorry that I did not buy this book before I bought my rabbit. I wish I had read it before doing so many mistakes. I recommend you to read this book before buying this lovely creature, at least not to hurt it against your will.
This book helps you get started with your rabbit........1998-12-10
This book helps you get off to a great start with your new rabbit, great clor pictures and easy to read. I loved the pictures and the information was valueble to me I am now looking forward to buying my first rabbit this has helped me feel more confident about my decision.
A most informative read!.......1998-11-14
The color pictures are lovable and this book is simply brimming with information about how to take care of dwarf rabbits. Each section is informative and comprehensive. It certainly provided me with plenty of tips on rearing my dwarf rabbits.
Product Description
Here is an interesting hamster variety for hobbyists, as well as great pets for children who are taught how to care for them. Every title in Barron's large selection of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals gives basic pet care information that all new pet lovers or soon-to-be animal owners need. Most titles in the Series also present facts that are new even to experienced pet owners and breeders - which makes these books attractive to everybody involved with pets. The text of each manual is supplemented with many handsome, full-color photos, instructive line art, and easy-to-read tables and charts. Each manual has been individually written by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or experienced animal specialist. Not one of Barron's Pet Owner's Manuals is a "clone" derived from some common catch-all book. Paperback / 104 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 1999
Customer Reviews:
GREAT BOOK!!!!!.......2007-01-04
This book has sooooo many details abouut dwarf hamsters. It tells of many tips and how-to's of taking care of your dwarf hamster pet. It also gives much information about understanding your hamster, what it needs, and about the history and origins of the 4 different types of dwarf hamsters. Another section includes the breeding of dwarf hamsters. It is very scientifical and educational and can really help you with your house pet.
Dwarf Hamsters (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals).......2007-01-04
Very informative book on dwarf hamsters. Wife and daughter both thought it was a very good book to start out with. What information it didn't have we found online. Overall they like it very much.
AWESOME .......2006-07-20
This book was an great resource for my dwarf hamster and helped me learn all I need to know about taking care of it. I totally recommend this book.
Hamsers Revealed!.......2005-04-26
I have always loved animals, and when I first bought my adorable Siberian Dwarf hamsters, it w as no exception. But sometimes people need a little help every once and a while.
There were many things I didn't know before reading this book. My mother and I looked up information on the internet, but the websites kept contradicting themselves and other sites, which only lead us in circle after circle. When the opportunity came at school to order any book that we wanted, I found this one and chose it.
Dwarf Hamsters: The complete pet owner's manual was one of the most informative reading materials on hamsters that I've ever read. It explained in great detail how to house, feed, play with, and raise hamsters. They gave great examples to go along with these explanations, as well as gorgeous pictures of the animals in question. I liked that part of the book, since many of the pictured hamsters looked much like mine. All sixteen of them!
This book also gave good histories on the hamster species. I liked the tables that listed their scientific names, origin, life span, and appearance. It explained where they came from also and how they act in the wild. That also helps, in case owners need to prepare for instinctive behavior.
I liked the pictures of the pups (infant hamsters) also. I enjoy when my female hamsters have babies, and it is so fun to watch them grow up and develop into the adults I own today. The pictures accurately captured what they look like and do at certain ages, and the text gave good tips on what to do when your hamster has pups. Any first-time raiser of pups should follow what is written in this book, even thought it may seem wrong to do otherwise.
One thing I did not like about this book is the fact that the authors didn't focus on the Siberian Dwarf Hamsters enough. Most of the information about the species was for the Chinese and Roborovskii hamsters. The book could have used more information on the Siberians, but much of the information could go for them as well as the Chinese or Roborovskii hamsters.
This book gave nice tips on how to communicate with your hamster when you first purchase it, and as it continues to reside with the owner. For example, they state ways to pick up your little pocket pet in a way that won't startle it. They say to hold it at least a few minutes every day, so that the hamster can get used to your smell and won't be as jittery around you. Another important communication subject this book talks about is how to differentiate a healthy hamster from an ill one. To me, that is one of the most important things to know when keeping these pets.
All around, this book is a wonderful source of information for first-time raisers and seasoned raisers alike. I would suggest this book to anyone interested in hamsters of all species!
Full of information.......2002-08-31
This has been a very helpful book, explaining a lot of our hamster's behavior and helping us to care for her better. The only reason it doesn't get five stars is that, once in a while, it leaves you hanging. For example, it explains the potential problems with various types of bedding material, but never comes right out and says which is best. Still, it's well worth getting, even if it's not perfect.
Customer Reviews:
Good basic guide for the begginer.......2000-11-15
"The Guide to owning Dwarf Rabbits" is a good basic guide to the first time rabbit owner. This book covers topics like Housing, feeding and health. "The Guide to Owning Dwarf Rabbits" is written in an easy to understand style and contains all you need to know for your first rabbit, but is not very in depth for those with rabbit experience.
Customer Reviews:
Decent book, less appealing information.......2005-12-15
Most of the book was very helpful to get my young niece to understand the care of the dwarf hamsters, but I had to correct a few things for her, for instance, they suggest pine or cedar bedding for them, although they do mention that cedar MIGHT not be the best choice, either of these materials are extreemly inappropriate for any small animal, bird, or reptile. They also suggest giving daily fruit treats, I have to disagree, while this is fine for syrians (goldens, etc...), dwarf hamsters are much more likely to develop diabeties, so PLEASE watch the sugar intake, even of natural sugars like fruit.
Nice Price! Lite on Info........2005-02-01
The price is good, but it's a little light on hamster care info.
Customer Reviews:
No mention of diabetes?.......2006-03-17
Not to oversimplify, but if a guide to dwarf hamsters doesn't mention diabetes - a *huge* issue with the Campbells variety - then assume it's flawed in other ways, too.
Not much about the care for hammies..........2000-08-11
This is a very thin book, so there is only a little of everything in it. The section, which is more detailed is the one on the different types of dwarf hamsters. It will not be a good book for first-time dwarf hamsters owners. I will only recommend this to those who are already familiar with dwarf hamsters and want an additional read.
Disappointing.......2000-04-07
This book seems to be lacking general overview information. It's more for breeders than the everyday pet owner.
How to bathe hamsters.......1999-08-03
First,you take a small cloth and make it damp by putting some water on it.After that,you take your hamster out and place it on your palm.use the damp cloth and strok your hamster gentely.
A reader from California.......1999-07-14
This book is very informative for a first time dwarf hampster owner, however it does not tell you waht to do in certain situations for you dwarf hampster. I would suggest this book to someone that is just wanting a dwarf hampster to have as a pet, not as a breeder or showtaker.

Very helpful.......1999-05-25
As a first-time purchaser of a dwarf rabbit, I found this book to be very helpful. The author explains the varying characteristics of the breeds and even reviews the history of each breeding line. The beautiful photographs realy helped me to better visualize the different breeds, assisting in my purchase decision. The author also reviews the medical, feeding and housing needs of dwarf rabbits. This book is of great value to all first-time dwarf rabbit owners.

Customer Reviews:
Easy Read and a Must Read before you build a Custom Home.......2007-04-23
First of all I strongly disagree with any negative comments about the book, they must have been written by either competing non-custom homebuilders, or another author with a similar book. I read this book about 4 yrs. ago, when I was looking to have a custom home built in Florida. I strongly agree with the accurate, positive comments. No, this book is not designed as a training manual for an experienced homebuilder, it is however, an easy read, that takes the average "novice" through the grueling task of having a custom home built, in "baby-steps". Nowhere in the book does the author (who is a builder), recommend that you use his company, or in anyway recommend, or steer you to buy a "tract" home, or steer you in any direction, or to any company. He does however, very candidly, explain the pros and cons of both, giving you a fair opportunity to decide what's best for you. I consider this quite noble, considering they build custom homes in Florida. I did research his company and found their website at Webuildcustom.com, or Cogdillbuildersflorida.com, or Cogdillbuilders.com If you are contemplating having a custom home built, this book is a must read, and covers most of what you need to know from the design process, to the construction loan, and more. In fact, I was so impressed by the simple honesty of the book, I contacted them to build my home.
HAPPY READER, HAPPY HOMEBUYER.......2002-01-15
When my husband and I started thinking about building a custom home, the idea really frightened me. I decided to tackle the process as I do everything else... read everything I can find on the subject. This book explained the process of building a custom home from start to finish in layman's terms. My husband and I both read and reread the book and felt it gave us the inside track on the entire event. We found ourselves asking the right questions. I am happy to report that this book allowed us to enjoy the home building experience and fullfill our American Dream. I would recommend this book to anyone who has even considered the idea of building. Forewarned is Forearmed!!!!
Guide to Builing in a Subdivision.......2001-11-12
I have read over 6 books on how to build you house recently. This was by for the least helpful because it is targeted to people building in a subdivision using a tract builder. Although the authors seem knowledgable in general contracting procedure they continually reiterate the pros of subdivisions and the cons of custom buiding on your own lot.
A Few Helpful Hints.......2001-08-31
This book was authored by a builder...and it reads that way. Though there are a few helpful hints (what house plans and contracts should contain, for example), overall the theme is this - if you select a good builder, everything will work out fine. True, perhaps, but I was hoping for a more objective and desciptive approach to understanding the custom home building process.
Informative.......2001-08-08
I read this book and I was very impressed by the easy reading and how easy it was to follow. There are no tricks of the trade hidden, just the best effort ever to educate the reader on what they need to do to build a custom home. This book should be required reading for all in the market for buying a home. They will know how to build their dream home. I would recommend this book to Realtors, all professional people and it would be great additional reading for college students, sometimes learning the hard way is not always the best way.
