(back cover)
My Hamster
My Pet Series

Filled with instructive, easy-to-understand information, vivid color photos, and attractive sidebar features, the titles in Barron’s My Pet Series offer guidance to new and prospective pet owners.

Your Hamster’s Health
The author advises on all important details regarding diet, proper cage equipment, keeping your pet active, and taking health precautions.

Understanding Your Hamster
You’ll find fascinating information about the traits and habits of hamsters, their development, their sensory capabilities, their likes and dislikes, and much more.

Information for Parents
Here’s advice on getting your children acquainted with hamsters and learning to care for them.

Information for Pet Sitters
When you go on vacation, you ca/n give your pet sitter the author’s easy-to-fill-out checklist. That way, you’ll be sure that all your hamster’s needs are taken care of. My Pet books, titles in a new pet care series from Barron’s, are formatted in a somewhat larger trim size than Barron’s popular Pet Owner’s Manuals and Pet Handbooks. Accordingly, My Pet books contain even more color photos and more attractive checklists and sidebar features. Their text is authoritative and clearly written, accessible to older children as well as adults. Attractive color photos of pets and their owners appear on nearly every page, as well as on each book’s handsome front-and-back cover flaps. Hamsters make delightful and engaging pets for both kids and adults–a point that pet expert Peter Fritzsche emphasizes as he discusses every aspect of hamster ownership and care. In addition to advice on feeding, housing, and health maintenance, this book shows hamsters at play, suggests cage accessories and toys to keep them active and alert, and discusses the breeding and care of newborn hamsters.
