Comments from reviews
"One thing that I really like about this book is that in no way does it say that you must be doing this or you must be doing that. The information is there for us to make our own informed decisions."
"I really found this book easy to read, very informative and I have learned quite a bit from it! I would highly recommend it."
Tina Williams
"Many of the sections are usefully supplemented by comments and experiences from individual fanciers and owners. This is especially useful because it shows that rats are adaptable abd that there is considerable room for manoeuvre when it comes to feeding. It is no good saying that a person must feed X when only Y is available in their area. The book is full of useful tips such as how to correctly feed using a syringe, rehydrating a sick rat and much more."
