BSAVA Manual of Rodents and Ferrets

The manual covers the most commonly encountered rodent species - mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, chinchillas and degus - in detail, as well as containing a separate chapter dedicated to the less commonly owned rodent species. In recognition of the vey fundamental differences between the rodent group of species and ferrets, the book is presented in two distinct sections. Both rodent and ferret sections begin with the all important biology, husbandry and clinical techniques (including anaesthesia and surgery), followed by chapters on common diseases organized by clinical system. A useful appendix summarizes the differential diagnoses based on clinical signs in rodents, and in ferrets.
