Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
Those who are thinking about getting a pet that doesn't take too much space and is clean, cute, and fun-loving should consider a gerbil. In clear language written for the novice gerbil owner, Anastasi (see her web site abcgerbils.com) discusses everything from the gerbil's Mongolian origins and the costs of keeping one to how to buy/obtain a gerbil from animal shelters and the 22 (!) available gerbil colors. There is also information on housing choices, how to clean a gerbil tank and feed a gerbil (including healthy snacks), and a shopping list of supplies. Furthermore, Anastasi explains handling, taming, and addressing "problems," along with birthing, caring for the mother-to-be, weaning, and handling the babies; her health information on heat stroke, hypothermia, mites, seizures, and strokes is as useful as her coverage of entertaining, photographing, and teaching tricks is fun. (If you think your pet has star potential, she gives tips for entering gerbil shows!) Together with Betsy Sikora Siino's The Gerbil: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet, this latest addition to the "Complete Care Made Easy" series is highly recommended for public library pet care collections.-Eva Lautemann, Georgia Perimeter Coll. Lib., Clarkston Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

    Gerbils

    This book is great! It's my gerbil bible. If you are a first time gerbil owner, I totally recommend this book. Every question you have will be answered. I always refer back to it and learn something new.

    Excellent guide to gerbil care

    I bought this book when my "males" had babies unexpectedly (pet store mixup). I had used her website, abcgerbils.com as a reference and decided to get the book, which was even more thorough. I would highly recommend this book for current gerbil owners and prospective owners. It is also a great reference for breeding as it goes into detail of what to expect. Great book!

    This book has been my best reference book. Any time I want to refresh my memory or have a question, I run right to this book. I have 6 gerbils and I wouldn't have them if I didn't have this great book. Any novice or someone even considering getting gerbils should read this book.

    I wish I could give it 10 *!

    This author knows her stuff. And it shows. As a matter of fact, she breeds gerbils. Her site is abcgerbils.com! I recommend you check it out. Getting back to the book: I am planning on getting gerbils, and this book really helped me to learn more about them. This book doesn't just cover the basics, it also includes sections like Breeding your gerbils, showing them, playing with them. Who knew gerbils could make snowflakes? Again, I wish I could give it 10. Up-to-date info, WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHS by Ellen Belleni. If these photographs don't make you want to go right out and buy gerbils, nothing will! This is the only good gerbil book! Worth the money!
