"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! ^^"
