Ferrets For Dummies 2e

This contains a wealth of good information well written. It has a reputation as being the "Ferret Bible" and this is probably deserved. I won't go on about it's merits, i just want to note a couple odd omission: There is no unified list of basic supplies. You have to read each chapter and write your own. I'm not sure if this is a shortcoming or a design decision to keep people from 'cheating' But it is occasionally annoying when you just want to quickly refer to something like what kinds of litter are appropriate. There is also occasional vagueness, for example while food bowls and water bottles are mentioned you won't find any recommendation about what size to get. Nor in all the extensive material about diet could I find any mention of how much they do or should eat, either by weight, volume or calorie requirements.Good but not perfect. I hope someday they make a third edition.

The advice in here killed my ferret! Just kidding!!! He's fine. He's sleeping comfortably in that picture.I got a ferret sort of by accident with absolutely no experience, no friends who have ferrets, nothing. And now, thanks to this book, my baby is thriving. It's everything you need to know to take care of a ferret, as well as some advice on where to get ferrets and how to know if a ferret is right for you.I recommend this book for new ferrents (that's ferret parents), for lifelong ferret lovers who sometimes need a reference, for people thinking about getting a ferret, basically for anyone who has anything to do with ferrets.

If you are considering getting a ferret I highly recommend this book. I have had a ferret in the past but still went ahead and got this book figuring a lot may have changed since I had mine about 20 years ago. Back then there was hardly anything out there for them. Now there is an endless supply of food choices, toys, shampoos, everything. This book is extremely helpful with sorting out what to look for in your food choice for your new ferret. She goes over several types of diets and the pros and cons. It gives a clear picture of what you need to decide on before you bring your new baby home. Everything from foods, toys, cages, first aid kits, she even covers common health issues to ferrets. In my opinion a must have for anyone new to ferrets.

I picked up this book to learn a little more about these cute fuzzy creatures in my quest to determine if a ferret is the right pet for me and if, indeed, I can effectively and responsibly take care of the little critter. To that end, this book has been absolutely invaluable. It is simply packed with knowledge on how to properly care for a ferret presented in plain, easy to understand language and amusing to boot! I was able to read the entire thing cover to cover in just a few days and I feel better prepared for it. It covers every topic from basic ferret history and what they should look to like, to where to get one and things to watch out for there, to proper cage etiquette, feeding, and medical problems. Should I decide to get a ferret, and this book has gone a long way towards convincing towards that end, I can see this book being a continual resource to my every ferret related question. Definitely recommended!

I LOVE Ferrets for Dummies because it has almost everything I need. The reason I gave it 4/5 stars is because it does have A LOT of wonderful info but not everything. There has been a few times when I was needing help with something for my fuzzbutts and I found the topic but it didn't give me exactly what I needed even though I read the whole thing. And there has been other times when it just didn't have what I needed at all. All of that is fine with me though because...there is something called the internet and I have been able to find what I have needed most of the time. Other than that it is a great book, I definitely recommend it.

Bought this book before I got my ferrets and it helped a ton. I didn’t read it page for page, mostly skimmed it but I still use it when facing a new question about my two ferrets.It’s broken up into easy to find categories and is organized very well.

A must have if you have ferrets.

I learned a lot about ferret care and feel much more prepared to welcome my own little carpet shark into my home. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to adopt or purchase a ferret, or if you just want some cool ferret facts to tell your friends.

Interesting and useful for first time ferret owners. Though it covers lots of aspects, it's always good to get other fonts of info as well. But I'd say is a must have among ferret owners!

I bought this when we got our forst ferret and boy have we saved ourselves from some big mistakes by first reading this book. If you plan on getting a ferret you should definetely have this in your bokk shelf.

ただし写真は僅かです実際の飼育スキルなどは箇条分けされていてわかりやすい作りになっていますし、現状に於けるネガティブな問題も包み隠さず記してあります また、フェレットに関する誤った情報をただす章などもあり、我が国のフェレットオーナーにも役立つ一冊といえます

Again another great book from the dummies. Had ferrets previously but years ago so thought I'd refresh myself. Lots of great tips and information in easy to digest format. Gorgeous pictures included including recipes and the vital first aid kit essentials. Really helped with some issues we've had around ferret behaviour. Highly recommended

I'm really interested in getting a ferret at sometime in the future,And wanting to be a responsible owner with an animal I've never had before made me decide to buy this book.And I can honestly say that I'm glad I did,It tells me everything that I could ever want to know about the care of these little animals.From their history and origin to their diet and first aid care and beyond!!!!I won't be buying a ferret until I have fully read and understood this book about them,And I know what I'm getting myself into.I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to have one of these amazing little creatures.
