Description
Are Small Furry Rodents the Right Pets for You by Emma Milne explores the world of small furry rodents, which can be wonderful pets. These loving and entertaining little creatures have needs just like all pets. In this book, you'll discover everything you need to know about rats, mice, degus, gerbils, and hamsters.
Did you know that all rodents have front teeth that never stop growing? The name rodent comes from the Latin for 'gnaw'. They love to chew! Some rodents, like gerbils, enjoy social contact and need to be kept in pairs or groups, but Syrian hamsters hate other hamsters and need to be kept alone. If you're curious about what these small furries love to eat, who their friends and enemies are, and what makes them happy and healthy, this book provides you with the facts you need to uncover.
By engaging in pet detective tasks and learning as you go, you will discover whether you and your family are the right owners for these special pets. If the book helps you determine that you’re ready to take care of real ones, then you’ve found your perfect match! Just as importantly, if you find that small furry rodents aren't a good fit for you, the book offers pointers on other fabulous animals that might suit you better.
