First, we started with the smaller size that was purchased at the local pet store. It only could fit one chinchilla. Once we saw a larger one online, we immediately had to purchase it. Now they can cuddle up against each other when they sleep at night! Rating: 5 / 5 Our two female chinchilla’s love sleeping and gnawing in the hideout.

My chinchilla loves playing in it. It's flexible and easy to bend into any shape you want. I have mine shaped into a hideaway. My chinchilla also loves gnawing on it!

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 22:09:22 +0000 http://petstuffbookmark.com/guinea-pigs/super-pet-rabbit-large-tropical-fiddle-sticks-hideout.htm#comment-1846 I bought this product for my bunny a few days ago, and he LOVES it. I shaped it into an arch and put a piece of granite underneath (to keep him cool, as it's summer), and he now naps there almost exclusively. I've seen him gnaw at this, so I know he'll chew it more as time goes on, but so far he mostly sleeps under it or hops through, rather than chews it. Also, I love that you can shape this into different things, so that if my rabbit gets bored with the arch, I can make it into something else. Excellent, excellent product!

Ward Tue, 02 Mar 2010 13:40:38 +0000 http://petstuffbookmark.com/hamsters/the-hamster-handbook.htm#comment-1844 I care for 10 Roborovsky dwarf hamsters, the world's smallest and fastest hamsters. So naturally I look for information that will help me care for this specific species of hamster. Although much of the information in this book is good, there is some info in here that is just plain wrong. For instance, it lists the Roborovsky as a "large" hamster reaching 4 inches in length, when it is actually the world's smallest hamster, reaching a maximum of 4-5 CENTIMETERS (2 inches). So I have to rate this book as just OK, since it contains some erroneous information. I also rate it lower because the author makes few distinctions between large/standard and dwarf hamster care. But there are key differences that should be noted in any hamster care guide. For example, dwarf hamsters, especially Campbell's, are prone to contract diabetes. So any source of sugar, including fresh fruit, should be very limited or avoided entirely. But the book makes no mention of this, showing the same list of recommended foods for all types of hamsters. Therefore, I would not recommend this book as a good guide for dwarf hamster care (or use it only as a supplemental guide to something better written by a vet, like "Dwarf Hamsters" by Sharon Vanderlip DVM). Since I have no experience with standard hamsters, I would use other people's reviews as a guide for how well this book covers care of standard hamsters.

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 12:35:14 +0000 http://petstuffbookmark.com/hamsters/the-hamster-handbook.htm#comment-1843 After having a recent problem with a Hamster, I did as much reading as I could to try and solve the problem (biting, anxiety, don't ask...). But as a result, I got the opportunity to read all the top rated books here. If you're trying to decide which one book to buy, this is the one. <br /> <br />A few others are very good too, but lack in different ways. Hamsters for Dummies has a lot of good info, but it's all black and white and no color pictures, which I think is important. This book is all color with tons of pictures. It includes all the basic info you want, like housing choices, food options, treats, behavior, common ailments, etc. and also has more extensive info on the the history, different breeds, breeding, etc. It's well layed out, with a good index. The author clearly knows her hamstmers and tells it as she sees it in the first person. <br /> <br />It's also worth mentioning that this is a good book for an adult, or older child. So many hamster books are written for children. That's nice, except me as the mother will be the one actually buying everything and probably doing most of the care anyway. <br /> <br />So, if you're looking for that one book to either help decide if you want a hamster, or have a reference while taking care of these pets, I think this is the best choice.

It is a book that everyone, from an aspiring veternarian to a child, would enjoy. It makes you an instant expert! The best part about it is that it doesn't assume the reader is a seven-year-old kid prone to smashing his or her new pet. It assumes that the reader has a thirst for knowledge (not to say that it is too much for a child to understand). Bartlett also includes some anecdotes and makes the book very fun and easy to get through. It sorts through all the information on the internet and in other books and boils it down to what a new hamster owner needs to know and what they want to know. It would be wise to save yourself the trouble and buy this book rather than look online for hamster information or bother with another book, I think that I can say very confidently that ANY OTHER HAMSTER BOOK IS A LIE!
