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.

Book excerpt: Every title in Barron's large selection of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals gives basic pet care information that all new pet lovers or soon-to-be animal owners need. Most titles in the series also present facts that are new even to experienced pet owners and breeders -- which makes these books attractive to everybody involved with pets. The text of each manual is supplemented with many handsome, full-color photos, instructive line art, and easy-to-read tables and charts. Each manual has been individually written by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or experienced animal specialist. Not one of Barron's Pet Owner's Manuals is a "clone" derived from some common catch-all book. The number of pages per book varies, since the care of some animals involves many more details than the care of others. Here is an interesting hamster variety for hobbyists, as well as great pets for children who are taught how to care for them.
