This book has everything I needed to know and more. The advice on feeding, types of food extended their life span, and safed me major medical expenses down the road. Oh and my Ferrets don't bite any more. I can't say enough about this book. "BIG Bravo Zulu"

Having been involved with keeping ferrets as pets, raising ferrets, watching ferrets, giving ferret advice and simply admiring ferrets for more years than I care to mention, I can truthfully say that this is one of the best overall, generally useful and most informative book for ferret owners that I have read. It is geared to the individual who has one or more ferrets for pets.

The Animal Planet Pet Care Library is a good, all around series and this little book is no exception. It covers, in some detail, the care, feeding, handling, socialization, housing, medical care and maintenance of these wonderful little animals.

The author does go into a nicely done natural history of ferrets and gives us a wonderful section of description including color variations, verbal communication and body language (very important if you want the most enjoyment out of your pet). I particularly liked the section of ferret physiology and the section giving advice on picking and choosing a veterinarian for your animal. The book is filled with wonderful photographs which are a delight within themselves. The text is concise, not too technical, and completely readable.

For the pet owner, I cannot think of a better book on the subject. There are many, many books on the subject of ferrets out there (goodness knows I have most of them), but this one is certainly at the top of the heap as far as usability goes and certainly in that position for the pet owner.

One of the very best all around ferret books available. Detailed, up-to-date information on housing, feeding, ferret-specific ailments and training. This book gets into the nuts and bolts of day-to-day living with and caring for ferrets, its a must have book for both novice and experienced ferret owners. If you can only afford one ferret book, this is the one to get!

If you have ferrets or are even considering getting a ferret this is a must have for your library! The information is very thorough and up to date and written by an authority in ferret care.

This book is a must for all ferret owners and those who want to be a ferret owner. Full of useful information, written by a top knotch breeder.

The book is very short and full of cute pictures. I would only recommended this book to someone who doesn't have a ferret and isn't planning on getting one but would like to know more about ferrets. I read this book shortly after I got my first ferret and it did not help me at all and left me more confused. I highly recommend the book Ferrets for Dummies for those who are interested in getting a ferret. That book is a lot longer and was a million times more helpful to me than this book ever was.

Being a rather new ferret owner I thought that getting a book to learn even more about ferrets. Even though it does have basic info I feel like there is probably better books out there with more specific info on having a ferret. Ferrets for Dummies seems to be good even though I only read that trial on my Kindle (after I purchased this book).

This book is a must read for anyone who is considering acquiring a ferret, or who has recently acquired a ferret and has questions about how to care for, feed, and keep their ferret safe. There is a lot of information crammed in this small book. My family was new to Ferrets when we purchased this book and it has really helped us become comfortable with our new ferret and how to keep him happy and healthy.

Great product! I recieved it quickly! It has everything you need to know about ferrets.

Ferrets are my kind of people. This is my kind of ferret book. It puts lots of good information for the new and experienced ferret owner. It is well organized and presents the information in an entertaining manner. Just a plain good read for a ferret lover and especially good for the person considering sharing their life with a ferret friend.
