Animal Planet Pet Care Library -gerbils

This is the first gerbil book I bought when I got my two adults. They turned out to be one of each sex due to a breeder/pet store mistake and I have 5 weaned pups now. I had to scramble online to fine sites that were helpful about what to do in certain situations and how to prepare for the worst (like respiratory infections). I bought a different book online that was much more helpful (author runs abcgerbils.com, which has a lot of great information). Gerbilbreeding.com is another great site, esp. if you're interested in gerbil genetics :)

Pros: Easy to read, lots of photos and charts, great for first time owners

Cons: Not much information for if you are breeding or accidentally breeding

Tells you about things that can go wrong, certain feeding issues, things not to do, etc. Very good book

Pros: Very thorough and informative

Cons: None
