The distinctively coated Golden Hamster does not tolerate the company of other hamsters, which means that Goldens cannot be kept in pairs. Even so, Golden Hamsters are docile with both adults and children and make good family pets. This title, along with all books in the comprehensive and popular B.E.S. Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series, provides advice on feeding, health care, housing, and all other important aspects of responsible pet ownership. Each title in the series is individually written from first page to last by a pet trainer, veterinarian, or other pet-care specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality photos and instructive line art.
