Ferrets for Dummies by Kim Schilling (2000, Paperback, Illustrated)

We have owned a ferret for several years, and I thought I knew a great deal about them. After adopting a pair of abused rescue ferrets, I bought this book for information on socializing them. This book provided that info and much, much more! It starts out explaining what to consider before buying a ferret, continues on into house-proofing your home for their safety, with great info and pictures on ferret body language. There's even an excellent chapter on illnesses and their symptoms, which could save your little "carpet shark's" life! I now feel much more confident as a ferret owner. This is a fun-to-read, easy to understand book, and the humor is wonderful! A must-have for every ferret owner, veterinarian or rescue shelter.
