"Training
Your Pet Rat" by Gerry Bucsis and Barbara Somerville www.amazon.com - $8.95 ![]() Product Description: Pet owners and animal hobbyists are discovering rats as fascinating and intelligent creatures that can be bred selectively and kept as pets. This book advises on virtually all aspects of caging, feeding, rat management, and training. Although "rat homes" are commercially available, the authors' detailed discussion of caging includes do-it-yourself ideas on ways to improve on the manufactured versions and convert rat enclosures into structures that better meet hobbyists' needs. There is also advice on rat trainability, and specific rat-training instructions. Approximately 80 full-color photos. RattyRat's Review: Unfortunately this book's title can be somewhat misleading. You would expect the whole book to be about training rats, but it actually only contains a chapter or two on the subject. It is mostly just another care guide. The book is fairly informative and easy to read, filled with good information, although it doesn't delve into it's topics too deeply. |
