1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated information, April 7, 2002

"drichman1" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Guide to Owning a Hamster (Paperback)

The information contained in the book is outdated and could be hazardous to your hamster. "White shaving" aka pine shavings are a no-no due to potential respiratory problems. The wire wheel, is also a no-no. Every year, many hamsters are seriously injured by wire wheels. There are better, much more up to date books that give safer information than this book!

1.0 out of 5 stars Be careful seeking advice..., August 13, 2006

R. Taylor "raytayz" (louisville, ky USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Guide to Owning a Hamster (Paperback)

...from any of this author's books...Ms. Barrie was just the publisher's secretary...the publisher is Herb Axelrod and under cross-examination during litigation against him Ms. Barrie said whenever Axelrod assigned her to do a book she just went to the library for references and then spent a week writing each one...Axelrod ultimately was sentenced to 18 months in prison for tax evasion and Ms. Barrie is now working as a dental hygienist...Axelrod carries some weight among fish fans but I'd be cautious about taking advice from any of Ms. Barrie's books.
