Bravo!
The best book ever written about gerbils, "Gerbils: The Complete Guide to Gerbil Care" contains amazingly accurate information about gerbil care, breeding and health issues - so accurate that I would even recommend taking this book to your vet with you to help them better diagnose your gerbils' ailments. There is a chapter on fun things to do with your gerbils, including gerbil art projects and training gerbils, as well as sections on housing, feeding, taming, breeding, showing gerbils and coping with gerbil loss. Just about every aspect of owning gerbils is covered in this wonderfully written book, as told from the perspective of one of the top gerbil breeders in the US. Despite her expertise and attention to factual detail, Donna Anastasi's book is concise and fun to read, enhanced with beautiful photographs taken by Ellen Bellini. I highly recommend this book, having read others that are not quite up to par or even give incorrect information. This book tells it as it is: the...

Wow
I have owned Hamsters for six years straight, and I love them and all rodents in general. I also adore reading. So naturally, I've read almost every rodent book out there. Most of them are satisfactory, but a little outdated. I may be getting Gerbils, so, seeing all of the good reviews fellow Amazonians gave this book, I decided to purchase it. That was a good desicion! This book is easy-to-read, without being simple. It presents everything you need to know about gerbils(in a professional manner that doesn't feel like the author is talking down to you), and more! It includes chapters about showing, breeding, gerbil crafts and playing with your gerbils(and that's just the extras! I have personally emailed the person who wrote this book. She is a judge for the Gerbil Association(I think), a breeder and gerbil exhibitor. Her website is [...] She is located in New Hampshire.

entertaining humorous Gerbil on a (suicidal) Mission of mercy
Obi the gerbil is upset when his significant other Rachel the young girl receives a puppy for her birthday. Her affection turns from Obi to Kenobi the golden retriever. Instead of Obi sitting on her lap watching Star Wars, Kenobi has the Force with him.Dejected and lonely, Obi heeds the advice of irritable Mr. Durkins the grouch mouse. He arranges for Kenobi to go outside without supervision and the puppy gets lost. Instead of euphoria, Obi is filled with guilt as he realizes he hurt his beloved Rachel. Driven by remorse and a need to make things right, Obi must journey where gerbils don't dare as he steps outside to find and bring home Kenobi.Targeting upper level elementary school children, the latest Obi anthropomorphic tale (see Obi, Gerbil on the Loose) is a charming story starring a rodent heroine whose adventures with darn cats, an owl looking for a between meal snack, and a giant dog needing a new chewable toy will thrill young readers.

breaking free of the gerbil syndrome
Kevin Leman has written the book which should turn parenting upside down, and in the process strengthen the family. The title, It's Your Kid, Not a Gerbil says it all.For years we've heard that we have to get our kids on the fast track, they have to be involved in sports and arts; they should have study time and develop good study habits. And that's all good stuff, but there's a limit. Leman reminds us that at some point we have to say no to the `good' in favor of the `better'.Gerbils get in the little wheel, expend a lot of energy going in circles, and end up going nowhere. All too often it seems like we want our kids to get on that wheel and run nonstop. But what's the cost?. Yes, we want the kids to develop good study habits, social skills and everything else, but when the kids are pushed so that the parents can brag about the accomplishments - it's time to step back.Dr Leman points out that at some point parents need to step up and be parents. Spending time with...

Less is more
Kevin Leman is at it again reminding us parents that raising a child is not rocket science. Being busy does not equal a fulfilling life. Sometimes less is more. Kids really just want more time with their parents not more stuff. Mostly the advice is common sense, but sometimes we need a little help making sense of it all.Even though it was hard to hear, Kevin Leman tells us straight up that we are just too busy. We need stop trying so hard to make everything meaningful. Routine and rituals are meaningful enough. Some of our best childhood memories are not from big events but from an almost meaningless event that thrilled us like no other.The one thing that hit me hard was that after a negative behavior in my child, I should respond, not react. I have been reacting a lot lately. With encouragement from this book, I see now that responding is a much better response. Yes, pun intended.Tyndale has provided me a free copy of this book in exchange for this...

Great book!
Kevin Leman is one of my favorite writers. He writes mainly on matters related to parenting and marriage, and he's hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. His books are insightful and practical, and he shares many of my values and beliefs. What more can you ask for?His latest, It's Your Kid, Not a Gerbil: Creating a Happier & Less-Stressed Home, is a book that addresses the pitfalls of our fast-paced lifestyle. What's ironic is that his ideas aren't really revolutionary -- they're actually pretty old-fashioned. Let kids be kids. Spend time together as a family. Limit activities outside the home.Even though his message is simple, not very many of us are heeding it. Most of us are overscheduled, stressed out and our families are suffering. For example, Joe and Susie do not need to be involved in soccer, dance and Tae Kwan Do - all at the same time. He suggests limiting each child to one activity per term. This is something that we're already practicing, and it has...

An Awesome Read for a Pocket Pet Lover
My daughter Caroline, age 11, offers this review: I treasured every word of "Obi, Gerbil on the Loose!". I, too, have a gerbil by the name of Obi-Wan-Kenobi, and I was amazed at the characteristic resemblance between Delaney's Obi and my Obi. Book Obi had some humanlike traits, but did not go as far as being able to speak to humans. Also, from the second I started reading "Obi", I felt as if I was traveling with Obi through the Armstrong's house from a gerbil's point of view all through her remarkable adventure. The characters were amazingly 3-dimensional, being neither entirely good nor entirely bad. I certainly hope there will be another book written about Obi so I can embark upon another adventure with her. I simply could not put this book down! "Obi, Gerbil on the Loose!" is definitely a must-read for kids (and adults) of all ages!

Michael Delaney's OBI, GERBIL ON THE LOOSE tells of Rachel, who owns Obi and goes on vacation with the rest of the family, leaving her pets home alone. The neighbor hired to feed the pets overlooks Obi: it's imperative that Obi escape, for she won't survive long without food and water. Her breakout leads to new worlds and new dangers in this fun, simple tale for elementary to middle-school grades.

A tale of a gerbil's great adventure, perfect for fans of the Humphrey series!

Life is good for Obi the gerbil. That is, until her owner goes on vacation and leaves the pets home alone! A neighbor boy comes to feed the other animals but never notices poor Obi. So the resourceful gerbil takes on the courage of her namesake (the famous Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi) and breaks out of her cage in search of food and water. Once she's on the loose, Obi faces dangerous cats, a maniacal tarantula, an insecure snake, a grumpy mouse, and a slobbering old dog. But she just might make some friends, too, in this hilarious and fun novel about a little rodent on a big adventure.

Gerbil Book
I got this book from the library and I read part of it. I have two gerbils. Their names are Acorn and Daisy. I had read another book about gerbils that said that they sleep at night but this book said they like to stay up around midnight. This book is right. When my gerbils were in my room they ran on their wheels and kept me up at about that time. I liked a picture of gerbils in tubes in this book. It showed a gerbil jumping into a tube. I learned that you are supposed to let your gerbils run around in a room about three times a week. I hadn't been doing that. Now we let them loose in the bathroom sometimes and on the table in the basement. I also liked the pictures of different colors of gerbils. I didn't know there were black and white spotted gerbils until I read this.

Excellent and well written.. a must for any rodent aficionado!
Having gerbils since the age of 8 and a very odd father myself, I can wholly relate to this wonderfully written memoir of growing up in a unique situation. I loved the novel from beginning to end and highly recommend it to any one who has grown up with an obsessive parent or raised gerbils. From the daughter of the writer behind the first "bible of gerbils" I adored in my childhood, comes a heartfelt and entertaining tale of her life and the impact these lovable rodents can have.

A fascinating book; A wonderful memoir
The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter is a fascinating memoir! It is often funny, yet also extremely touching in parts. Holly Robinson is such a wonderful writer- she "paints" with words.I've had gerbils for many years, but one doesn't have to have owned gerbils to appreciate this book. It is also a fascinating "coming of age memoir, the story of growing up in a rather "unique" family. The book reads so well, it's hard to put down. Most definately NOT a children's book- be advised of that.I highly recommend The Gerbil Farmer's Daughter! I think it would make a terrific film, too.

Product Description

“What kind of Navy officer sits on his ship in the middle of the Mediterranean dreaming of gerbils?”

That’s the question that Holly Robinson sets out to answer in this warm and rollicking memoir of life with her father, the world’s most famous gerbil czar.

Starting with a few pairs of gerbils housed for curiosity’s sake in the family’s garage, Donald Robinson’s obsession with the “pocket kangaroo” developed into a lifelong passion and second career. Soon the Annapolis-trained Navy commander was breeding gerbils and writing about them for publications ranging from the ever-bouncy Highlights for Children to the erudite Science News. To support his burgeoning business, the family eventually settled on a remote hundred-acre farm with horses, sheep, pygmy goats, peacocks–and nearly nine thousand gerbils.

From part-time model for her father’s bestselling pet book, How to Raise and Train Pet Gerbils, to full-time employee in the gerbil empire’s complex of prefab Sears buildings, Holly was an enthusiastic if often exasperated companion on her father’s quest to breed the perfect gerbil. Told with heart, humor, and affection, The Gerbil Farmer’s Daughter is Holly’s ode to a weird and wonderful upbringing and her truly one-of-a-kind father. Top to learn more

Delightful Story of Childhood Amid Pet Rodents
I am a person who doesn't get much time to read, but I put this book on my nightstand and read a chapter or two every night. It is just wonderful! Ms. Robinson has a delightfully wry sense of humor and she sure can turn a phrase to elicit a laugh. Her stories of growing up the picked-on, smart, "new" kid in a hick town in rural Mass. are touching and may resonate with many a reader. It really is a wonderful book!The book reminded me at various times of Shirley Jackson's stories about home life, and also Sarah Bird's delightful book "The Yakota Officers' Club" about life as a military kid and the special difficulties of getting through normal adolescent rebellion within the confines of military life. And of course, the gerbils! As a member of the American Gerbil Society myself, I read the section on the AGS Show right away. Reading that section again AFTER reading the whole book made the story touching on a whole new level. I sure wish Kinky could have been there to win a...

Buy a Gerbil

If you buy a gerbil cage or gerbil kit you may discover that you have a water bottle already supplied with it. Make sure you look at this before you buy an additional one off the shelf. For gerbils that continually don’t have enough water they will die years earlier than those that are well taken care of. One way to ensure your gerbil always has enough water is to use a water bottle. These gerbil bottles are lightweight and the hold enough water for the gerbil to drink out of for days. It is very important that your gerbil has enough water to drink. This will result either in your gerbil not drinking it or getting sick from it. You don’t want to deal with either one of these issues though. They come in several sizes and you may need to go with a bigger one as your gerbil grows and drinks more.
