Woozel-rific! Date: December 28, 2006
"I read "Ferrets for Dummies" because I'm considering purshasing a ferret next year. Right when I bought the book, I began reading it. It's very large but worth it. This book tells about everything from breeding, to handling, to training, and even teaching ferrets tricks! It even gives some backround information on the Black-footed ferret. This is a very informative book that I would recommend to anyone that has a ferret or is considering on getting one. Five Ferret Paws up! ^^"

Wow! Date: May 17, 2006
"It was the MOST informative book I could have ever asked for about ferrets, their behavior, and their health. It explained almost any question I ever had in a simple and humorous manner. The information came in handy on more than one occasion to determine whether or not my ferret's health was in question and I needed to contact a vet for a problem I could have mistakenly ignored or dismissed! It is just SO good and comprehensive that I recommend it to Anybody who has a ferret- or is considering getting one (or more)."

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Ferrets! Date: September 13, 2008
"This is a great book if you are looking to get a ferret or want to know more about the ferret you already know. Full of great informative things on how to properly care for your ferret, how to feed, house, and even bathe your ferret. This book goes into great detail about everything you would ever have to know and any questions you may have. It also has a very informative section on your ferrets health and what signs to look for if your ferret is getting ill. It is also filled with really cool facts that you may not know about ferrets. For example I bet you didn't know that a ferret has to taste everything that you want them to eat by 6 months old. This is because their ability to smell the food diminishes after that time if they have not already come in contact with it. I would highly recommend this book and have read it over 10 times and still look back at it if I need to remember something."

Best source of Ferret information out there! Date: January 21, 2008
"I'm slightly new to owning ferrets so this book was very helpful to me. Both of my ferrets are rescues and one was really thin and sickly when I got him so this book helped me by providing a lot of helpful tips to get him well again. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has ferrets. I have a lot of other ferret literature as well but this one is probably the best. It even has recipes in the back that you can make for your Ferret when he's not feeling so well."

The best out there. Date: May 6, 2006
"This ferret book is, by far, the best information out there on ferrets. It includes information on care, health, where to purchase, how to say goodbye, how to train, and even how to breed. It is an EXCELLENT book, and I would reccommend that if you are interested in purchasing a ferret you buy this book FIRST and read through it cover to cover. If you make it through and are still fascinated, and if you feel ready for it, THEN you will be better prepared for bringing one of these loveable pets into your home."
