5.0 out of 5 stars Much better than the subtitle suggests, April 28, 2005
By Jennifer Macke (New Mexico, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For anyone with an interest in raising "live food" for their exotic pets, this book has a huge wealth of information. The subtitle "63 black and white photographs" led me to believe it was little more than photos, but it actually contains detailed information on raising a wide range of organisms. It contains chapters covering feeder items including plankton, springtails, daphnia, worms, crickets, flies, waxworms, roaches, locusts, woodlice, rodents, and on and on!

The only fault I find with this book is that they should have done a better job with the translation and editing. It was originally written in German, and could have been greatly improved by some additional editing by a native English speaker familiar with the subject. In the section on Nematodes, the text jumps from vinegar eels to microworms without distinguishing between the two species, but I believe that this was an error, with some information perhaps being "lost in translation".

What's not to love about a book that features a pair of mating insects right on the cover?! This book is well worth having for anyone who raises live food.

4.0 out of 5 stars Recommanded book, July 6, 2006
Very informative to the novice and advanced person into live food. In depth explanations. The only thing that should be improved is the pictures, colored pictures would add scientifically to this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book on this matter, October 4, 2005
By Alejandro Mateos Martn (La Coruña, España) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The book provides interesting and in some cases new information about the best beeding technics. Some sections are a bit confusing as they expose the same things twice; I haven't found either deep information about the way to prepare in the kitchen some formula, or close up photographs of their aspect once ready to feed. Anyway, the overall impression is that of a valuable book for the begginer and even for the professional.
