Alternative Pets

If you are interested in unusual pets, this is just the book for you. Did you know that: ferrets can be house-trained, and taught to sit, stay and retrieve, just like a dog? blue-tongued lizards love to eat strawberries and snails? goldfish can be taught to swim through a hoop? or that land hermit crabs love to move house? As well as such fascinating snippets, this book provides invaluable advice on pet selection and on keeping pets healthy and happy, including information on feeding and on building them a suitable home.
