Barron's Pet Handbooks look very much like Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals, but the Handbooks are larger--more pages, more text, more color photos, and more detailed pet-care advice. This brand-new title will be of special value to parents of younger kids who are keeping hamsters, to older children who can read the book on their own, and of course, to adults who keep hamsters as a hobby. The author explains everything hamster owners need to know about the animal's life cycle, traits, breeding, feeding, caging, treating health problems--and simply keeping hamsters happy with appropriate toys and exercise accessories.
