Squirrel Keeper's Handbook: The Complete Practical Guide to Squirrel Care, Housing, Feeding, Behavior, Health, Enrichment, Handling, Safety, and Responsible Long-Term Keeping (en Inglés) - Donald S Coleman

Squirrels are intelligent, active, curious animals with needs that go far beyond providing food and a place to sleep. Squirrel Keeper's Handbook gives beginners a practical introduction to the everyday responsibilities involved in providing appropriate, thoughtful, and consistent care.

Written in a clear and approachable style, this handbook explains the essential areas every prospective or current squirrel keeper should understand-from creating a secure living environment and providing balanced nutrition to recognizing behavior, encouraging healthy activity, maintaining cleanliness, and watching for signs that something may be wrong.

Inside this practical handbook, you'll discover:
