Prairie Dogs

Titles in this extensive series Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals provide pet owners with basic information on keeping healthy, contented, well-cared-for animals. The series covers pets of every kind: dogs, cats, and birds of many breeds, as well as fish, reptiles, rabbits, hamsters, and just about any other animal that people keep as a pet. Facts and advice cover all aspects of pet care, which include proper feeding, housing, health care, grooming, training, and much more. The text in each manual is supplemented with many vivid, full-color photos, and with instructive, anatomically accurate line art. Each manual has been individually written by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or experienced animal specialist. These playful rodents are often considered pests by cattle ranchers, but when acquired as pets, they are both fun to keep and affectionate, but strong-willed and mischievous.
