This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwarf hamsters are cute, tiny rodents that have only recently become popular with pet owners and differ from the more common Syrian hamster because of their small size. On average, adult dwarf hamsters measure 9 centimetres or 4 inches in length. They first appeared on the domestic small pet scene sometime around the early 1970's but were not common-place and had to be obtained from breeders. They appeared in the commercial pet trade on a large scale in the mid-1990's and have since grown in popularity with small pet owners. There are three recognised species of dwarf hamsters, namely Campbell's, Roborovski and Russian Winter White. Since their growth in popularity there are many hybrid dwarf hamsters available as well, bred to create different colour variations. Although they are small, they are not suitable pets for small children. Their fragile composition makes caring for dwarf hamsters a commitment of careful care, a gentle touch and ensuring that they stay well fed, watered and healthy. Veterinary treatment of such tiny animals is very difficult, so prevention of injury or sickness is key. If you decide to commit to caring for one of these tiny, cute little animals you will be rewarded with endless hours of entertainment as many of these cuties can become quite loving if treated properly. Although dwarf hamsters might not be the best pet for just anyone, if you are that right someone then educating yourself on how to care for them will be the first step towards what will be the most rewarding and fascinating journey as you get to know your little dwarf hamster with its quirky personality and amusing daily routines. Covered in this book: - Body Language - Breeding - Buying - Characteristics - Classification - Costs - Daily care - Feeding - Fighting - General facts - Health - Housing - Origin - Personality .... and much more.

Download or read book Dwarf Hamster written by Lolly Brown and published by Nrb Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At roughly 50% the size of conventional hamster breeds, Dwarf Hamsters can make excellent pets for people who need a low-maintenance companion with a big personality. These tiny creatures may be too fast and too agile, however, to be kept by younger children without adult supervision. It's important to understand a Dwarf Hamster's husbandry needs well in advance of any adoption. All varieties are best suited for life in an aquarium as a habitat. Dwarf breeds have a lifespan of approximately three years and will thrive on a diet of commercially available pellets mixed with fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and seeds. Entertaining and personable, Dwarf Hamsters do require patient and progressive socialization to become truly tame. Breeds like the Robovorski, however, are often best handled inside their enclosure only because they are not only active, but skilled little escape artists. This simple and accessible text presents all the basic information necessary to establish a Dwarf Hamster habitat, manage your pet's dietary needs, and monitor his health for potential illnesses. Although not difficult to keep as pets, Dwarf Hamsters - indeed all hamsters - are often "impulse" adoptions. Your best course of action is to acquire all the necessary supplies for your pet, assemble his habitat, understand his needs, and then bring your hamster home. By following straightforward directions for socialization and training, your Dwarf Hamster should settle in quickly and happily! Dwarf Hamster care, health, buying, breeding, and much more all covered!

Book excerpt: Who doesn’t wish to share his or her home with a cage full of “Furry Mongolian Friends” aka gerbils!? Author Susan Anastasi certain does! She describes these irresistible critters as “quiet, clean, friendly, curious, active, and easy-to-please.” In deciding whether the gerbil is for you, Anastasi offers this advice: “If you are looking for a seemingly limitless cache of cuteness—from their long, fanning whiskers and large almond-shaped eyes to heir bunnylike hind legs and tufted tail tips—then gerbils are for you!” Clearly bitten by the gerbil bug, the author begins by providing some basic natural history about gerbils, their origins on the Mongolian range, and an overview of their behaviors. Anastasi defends her favorite pocket pet and asserts that the gentle gerbil does not deserve its Latin name (Meriones ungiculatus), which translates as “clawed warrior.” Filled with terrific color photographs, Gerbils summarizes the basic needs of these adorable rodents, specifically addressing their housing requirements, the cost and commitment involved, and their interactions with children and other pets. The following are devoted to purchasing a healthy gerbil from a pet shop, hobby breeder, or shelter; introducing the gerbil to the home; housing and feeding; taming and handling the pet gerbil; health considerations and potential household hazards; breeding and raising the young; and exhibiting gerbils at shows. The discussion on housing covers the selection of the ideal enclosure, basic housing setup, accessories, safety, and a guide to cleaning the tank. The chapter “Taming and Handling Your Gerbils” offers a step-by-step socialization process to acclimate the gerbil to its new handler and surroundings plus instructions for handling the gerbil and discouraging nipping. All keepers will be interested in the chapter on keeping gerbils healthy through smart preventative care; topics covered include allergies; broken limbs and head injury; teeth, tail, and ear problems; dehydration; diarrhea; heat stroke; hypothermia; mites, and more. Gerbil enthusiasts who are looking to become gerbil midwives will find complete instructions for breeding and raising pups (baby gerbils) in the chapter about reproduction. It covers planning a litter, setting up a breeding tank, mating, caring for the pregnant mom, birthing, fostering, growth cycles, weaning, handling pups, and more.
