Ferret Mania!

I checked out several books on ferrets from the library, and then bought this one. I felt it contained all of the useful, general information a ferret fancier needed. Since I had never owned a ferret when I first owned the book, it answered all of my basic questions. Later as I became more experienced with my pets, I still found useful tips for strange behaviours, suggested treats, etc. Between this book, and the alt.pets.ferrets Usenet group, you'll have all the advice you need to have healthy happy little bouncies!

Best Book on the market

This is the best ferret book i have yet read. This book has a lot of usefull infomation other books don't have. I recommend it to everyone.

A great book for ferret owners.

I purchased this book when I got my first kit and it was very helpful and informative. I highly recommend this book, especially for new owners. As having only owned older ferrets, this book really did come in handy.

Best Book for New and Experienced Ferret Owners!

I recommend this book to everyone who adopts a ferret from us. Its very informative and written in terms that everyone can understand. It really deals with ferrets as loving housepets and not like some books that still refer to them as "exotic" and "unusual". I believe this to be the most informative, interesting and fun book on ferrets and their care on the market.

Simply the best, most up to date and easy to read manual!

If you're getting a pet ferret, or want to get a gift for a ferret owner, THIS IS THE BOOK! It's humour and light touch make it readable to even the most hardened pet ferret owner, and it's simplicity and thorough coverage of the subject of ferrets is perfect for an absolute beginner. This is the care book you'll read even after think you know everything about your ferret. It's filled with charming pictures, and is currently the most up to date guide. AND it's written by a woman who has spent the last 4 years hearing every fad and fasion regarding ferret care! Frankly, if you team this up with 'Training your ferret', I doubt you'll ever need any other ferret books in your life!! Why buy 10 when you can get one??
