This review is from: The Gerbil: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Kindle Edition)
This is a very comprehensive book which will help you to be a good gerbil owner! It gives you tips and advises helpful to make the life of your little friends perfect. It is a very cute book, too with loads of nice pictures! It is easy to read, written in a very clear way and divided into chapters in a very organized and smart way. If what you are looking for is a book to gather info about these amazing pets before adopting one, this is perfect. If you already have gerbils and want to make sure you know what you are doing, this is perfect as well. Beware only of one thing: it is true what i read on another review about the fact that gerbils might be awake by night, but in the book it is said that they are supposed to sleep by night.. What i can say from experience is that my gerbils tend to sleep by night and if they wake up they are generally quite. In a few occasion it can happen that they go crazy by night, but i guess that i hear them only because i live in a loft and i sleep upstairs while their cage is just downstairs, without a wall separating us (which is a quite uncommomn situation i believe!).
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Gerbil: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Kindle Edition)
i found this book to have a lot of useful information, both background and caregiving. it spent a lot time selling the gerbil as a pet instead of just being an informational tool, this could be tiresome if you've already decided on a gerbil as a pet. overall, i would buy again.
