1.0 out of 5 stars Great Pictures--Skip the Rest, January 7, 2002
By 
This review is from: Guide to Owning a Mouse (Paperback)
Lots of beautiful, glossy, color pictures of mice being mice--if you don't own them before buying this book you'll want to become a mouse owner. Other than that, the content is extremely basic. The first 15 pages (without pictures, it might be 4 pages of text) are an introduction to the mouse at a very basic level. The next 15 pages covers a range of different rodents (lemmings, moles, voles) that are of little relevance to those who own or breed fancy mice. The information in the rest of the book (take this example "feed your mice well but do not overfeed") is probably useful information for anyone who has no previous experience with rodents but is at an extremely basic level. There is very little detailed information, there are information gaps (for instance, I don't believe there is anything in the book on sexing mice--or determining the difference between male and female--something any first-time owner would find to be critical information). And there is some misleading information as well (pictures of mice on pine bedding--something that is harmful for them) while the book specifically recommends "softwood" beddings (such as pine and cedar). In short, the pictures are entertaining but the information in this book is not sufficient for any new mouse owner and anyone who has owned a mouse previously will find no new information in it and some obviously wrong details.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality book . . . ., January 19, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Guide to Owning a Mouse (Paperback)
I breed fancy mice for a hobby, and bought this book as part of my mouse book collection. It is, by far, the poorest book ever written for the mouse owner. It just has the bare basics for mouse care, and sometimes not even that. Anyone just getting a mouse for a pet will be a little confused by this book, and I was ( and I have experience with mice!) In short, there are other books out there that are better! Don't waste your money.
