Format:Hardcover
A book I have used often for those little details that are usually really hard to find. Not exactly bed-time reading (though why would you expect it to be?!) but a fantastic reference that every veterinary practice should have. Written in detailed medical language with informative diagrams and photographs. Still a bit too much America-only content, but well worth the money.

this book is a must for caring ferret owners, especially for those who live in a region where medical information about these animals are not so readily available.

excellent resource
1 Dec 1996
Format:Hardcover
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who would like to learn about the biology of ferrets. There are lots of pictures, both illitrations and photographs of the interal workings of the ferret. It's a great way for anyone interested in ferrets to learn how they work. This book isn't a large one with 330 pages of text and illitration, but the information that it contains is seeping out it's binding. It is very extensive covering everything from ferreting to breeding and the reproductive cycle to common and not so common diseases. With illistrations showing you exactly what everything looks like. This is something every ferret owner should have, and never be without

An excellent resource for technical ferret information.
11 July 1998
Format:Hardcover
Whilst this book isn't for every ferret owner, it is certainly a signifcant reference for veterinarians, animal technicians, biliogists or the really serious ferret owner. With indepth articles on certain topics (theres a massive section on neurology) most aspects of ferrets biology and diseases are covered in this text. Although the information is becoming a little dated, an update to the text is due out soon. A worthwhile read for anyone who has the time and patience to study it.
