 Good Little Guide November 16, 2008
This book provides what seems to be a comprehensive guide to owning and caring for a hamster. It actually convinced me NOT to get another hamster after our first pet got fatally ill shortly after we bought her. Doing it right seems to be too much for me and my young children. Would be great for a teen or adult, though.
 Great Book For Kids April 8, 2007
This book has been a great guide for my 9y/o. He has read it cover to cover and even goes back to it when he has questions. Highly recommended.br /
Useful book with a lot of cute pictures! April 29, 2005

This books is full of high-quality, cute pictures of hamsters. But also, the information within it is very good. I've been keeping pet hamsters for over ten years. I read this book shortly after I got my first hamster, and I keep on returning to it for its useful information. The books is very well written. Any new hamster owner will find it full of great information.
Ranks top 10 in pet guides. July 13, 2004

The best guide to hamsters that we have found so far is this Complete Pet Owner's Manual. It also gave me the impression that the series had other successes besides this, after determining the quality of this one. The manual is most assuredly complete, covering: Maintainence, dietary supplements, dealing with the loss of a hamster, and specific behavioral signs. There are more sections in there that are also very interesting to know. These are very specialized and popular pets, and this covers the void for excited owners of their first hamster. If you already own other manuals about the hamster, this one is likely to be somewhat redundant. br Ranks much higher in binding quality also. The Happy Healthy Pet owner's guide series has very cheap cardboard binding, and will fall apart in a matter of months from heavy use. The Essential Hamster has pretty good paperback binding, but not as firm as this one. There is a single other hamster manual being sold in stores and online, but it's paperback quality is not very good. Buy this first for good information and binding quality for hamster purchasers.
Adequate, useful guide to buy with that pet hamster! December 29, 2003

This is a good book that probably ought to be required when you buy a hamster for your youngster. You should buy this one for yourself, and TRAINING YOUR PET HAMSTER for the recipient of your gift! Then all of you can take good care of the hamster, learn more and more with each passing day, and have fun all the while without using a computer game 24/7!
