"Short of acquiring clinical books featuring only a single species,
this book is thorough enough that it would be a valuable addition
to the library of any veterinary professional interested in exotic
small mammals." (National Association of Veterinary Technicians in
America , 2011)



"Overall, this book is a great source of information for
veterinary technicians and assistants who frequently work with
small mammals. The text is very easy to use, and could also be used
to provide information to clients who need help with husbandry. It
is small, concise, and to the point without a bunch of statistics
or unnecessary text to muddle through. This text would be a great
addition to any general or exotic practice, or for the veterinary
technician's library. Veterinarians and other staff members may
also benefit from having this book on their shelf of easy-to-reach
reference material." (VSPN, June 2010)

"There is certainly something for anyone with an interest in
exotics to be found within these pages, and it will be most useful
for veterinary nurses and pet owners. It should be judged as an
excellent starter guide for exotic veterinarians, with good
coverage of basic procedures and disease processes, thus meriting
its place on most veterinary practice bookshelves." (Veterinary
Record, November 2010)

This is a useful book for those in the veterinary field. It
provides a great deal of information for various species in a
well-organized manner." (Doody's, October 2010)

"Exotic Small Mammal Care and Husbandry is a fine basic
reference for handling and treating small animals in the vet
clinic. It covers everything from mice and hamsters to ferrets and
focuses on housing, nutrition and diseases. Basic anatomy and
preventative care are included in a fine easy approach many a pet
owner will also appreciate." (The Midwest Book Review, June
2010)
