This book so far I think si one of the best gerbil books I have read so far. The book is filled with detailed color photos and descriptions. The book also contains valuable gerbil care, housing, and other information which can be useful to ownersin times of need. This book is definately a must for every gernil owners out there. :)

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!).

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.

I got this book from the library after my mouse died. I wanted a hamster but we got this too to see which one sounded best. I saw that this book says gerbils sleep at night. We decided to get gerbils. I got two named Acorn and Daisy.

But they do not sleep at night! They keep me awake when they are upstairs. I read another book and it said that gerbils like to stay up around midnight! I go to sleep at 11:00 on weekends and the gerbils wake me up.

This book was wrong about gerbils sleeping at night. I did like the pictures, though. I don't know if there is anything else that isn't true because I didn't read the whole book.
