5.0 out of 5 starsA must-read for both new and experienced mouse owners
By sestina on January 25, 2003
Format: Paperback
I read two different 'mice as pets' books before buying my first pair of fancy mice in 1999. Although the books provided the basics of housing and feeding, as well as some notes on what to do if my mouse experienced diarrhea, they did not prepare me for the illness that claimed the mice two years later.
Dr. Vanderlip's book "Mice: A Complete Pet Owner's Manual" provides much more information concerning mouse health, including visual cues for various illnesses, and suggested remedies, even if they are only intended to make your mouse more comfortable while you contact your veterinarian. She also provides helpful tip-boxes and brief checklists for quick and easy reference on such topics as what to do, or not do, if your mouse escapes, as well as the kind of bedding, toys, and cage placement that best suits a mouse's anatomy and physiology.
Her writing style is blunt and compassionate, and after reading this book, I feel much better prepared to be the responsible owner of happy and healthy mice.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Ultimate Pet Mouse Book
By Phillip T. Robinson, DVM on July 21, 2002
Format: Paperback
Mice as pets? While many of us still think of mice as garden variety rodents, true mouse lovers appreciate the extreme diversity of this remarkably successful family of pocket mammals. Worldwide in their distribution, mice have adapted to most extremes of climate and geography.
This mouse book brings together a wide range of pragmatic knowledge about mouse-keeping from veterinary researchers, hobbiests, and animal behaviorists--no small feat given the vast literature on these busy, entertaining and social little critters.
If you are looking for a single source about feeding, breeding, housing and entertaining your favorite mouse, this manual will probably be a first choice. A comprehensive list of common ailments is included that helps to identify a sick mouse. Useful advice if offered in handy, table form on how problems can be prevented and managed, or treated by your family veterinarian.
Since mice readily breed in captivity, another section provides an understanding of their reproductive cycle and useful details on pregnancy, nursing, weaning and development.Giving mice enriching activities is always fun and challenging; the section on housing, furnishings and feeding offers a wealth of details that make mouse-keeping interesting and entertaining.
Even rodent-phobes will quickly be attracted to these gentle little creature armed with the knowledge that this generously illustrated, well-organized, user-friendly manual provides.
Phillip T. Robinson, DVM

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect For Everything You Need To Know About Your New Friend!!
By Heather Menard on July 28, 2005
Format: Paperback
This book is a reasonable size with illustrations and pictures of mice, subjects that they talk about, and sometimes demonstrations. Examples:How to pick up an untamed mouse and how to tell the gender of your mouse.

At times there can be a little too much information, but it really does tell you everything you need to know before and after you buy a mouse in every chapter.

1.Intro To The Mouse

2.Before You Buy

3.Understanding Your Mouse

4.Accomodations For Your Mouse

5.Feeding Your Mouse

6.Health

7.Raising Mice

8.Breeding Fancy Mice

It also includes many tips, charts, checklists, and how-tos.

All in all, it's the BEST book for mouse owners!! It may not be the easiest to read because of the small print and bunches of info, but it's the must read for mouse owners old and new even if you have to scan it for occassional of emergency info!!

4.0 out of 5 starsWonderful book, it made me understand my mouse Salem ...
By Anna Illes on December 3, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Wonderful book, it made me understand my mouse Salem much better. It doesn't recomend the best place to get mice though, for that I would reccomend looking on petfinder or searching mouse breeders, because the mouse will already be tamed. (The American Rat and Mouse Association website does not help).
It politely reccomeds the best options when it comes to keeping mice, but also solutions for when one is forced to go with the worst ones. Only with keeping a male, call into an exotic vet office to see if they can neuter him, it will make your mouse less stinky and it will not produce mouse babies if kept company by a female.
That's all, and this is probably the best mouse book ever out there.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Best
By Wolf on February 26, 2015
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is possibly the most informative book for mice I've found (and mind you, I've gotten and been disappointed by a lot of books) but this book has a little medical knowledge, a little pet-care knowledge, and a lot of easy-to-read and easy-to-find topics! My favorite book I've gotten concerning pet mice so far - and it was cheap!

4.0 out of 5 starsgood for beginners
By Ready2205 on January 7, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I bought this book when I got my first mice and although it doesn't offer a lot that can't be found elsewhere on the internet, the information is well organized with tips about all areas of mouse-ownership and some nice how-tos. The reason I really like this book though is that there is a chapter on health that offers a decent amount of detail about what to look for and a handy table. Not intended for information about breeding, although still includes a chapter on reproduction which is nice. Recommend as a basic.

WE continue to see cute little Mice in Pet Stores and are simply curious about who are they and what can we learn about them, for WE really do enjoy learning every thing there is to know about ALL the other beings who share this marvelous nature planet with us. And, so again, our favorite Amazon presented this book to us, and we are not disappointed to learn about this tiny creature and all the interesting details of this being which the author has chosen to share with its readers. We hope you all have as much fun in your serious reading research and purchasing with the help of Amazon and are enjoying bushels of blessings.
