Not the right book for your rat,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rats (Small Animals) (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a good general rat care guide, this is not the book for you. It's packed with great photos but at times seems to be style over substance -- some of the "rat" photos are of mice! The experience of reading the book is similar to finding the occasional mouse photo, there's some interesting stuff but every once in a while there's some jarringly bad info (like the suggestion of cedar chips for bedding). It will be hard for a first time rat owner to tell which is which. More recent offerings by Debbie Duccomun or Ginger Cardinal are much better choices for your first rat care book.

Excellent for beginners.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rats (Small Animals) (Hardcover)
As a complete beginner to the world of rat keeping, I found this book to be useful regarding practically every aspect of rat keeping. The section on taming and training was excellent, much better than any other book that I had seen. For me that section was the most important since it deals with how to make the pet-owner relationship more rewarding for both parties involved. Susan Fox obviously also owns her own rat/s which means the book is written from personal experience, not just theoretical conjecture. Very good information and interesting reading.

BAD,
By EmilyA874 "Emily" (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rats (Small Animals) (Hardcover)
pictures of mice, and a suggestion to use pine as bedding! If you have rats you should know pine causes resperitory problems due to the oils and such in it. It's just not a very good book, and she obviously isn't very well informed on rats.
