Abstract
PROBABLY many of our readers who have not been brought up in the country would be shy of handling a ferret; but if they attend carefully to the directions given in this little volume, they may set aside their fears for the future. Admirable instructions are also given as to the management of these animals in health and in sickness, and likewise how to use them in the field; while a résumé of the legal status of ferrets will probably be useful to many. So far, indeed, as the breeding and management of these little mustelines are concerned, we may say, to use an expression of the author, that “what he does not know is not worth knowing.”
Ferrets, their Management in Health and Disease; with Remarks on their Legal Status.
By Nicholas Everitt. 12mo, pp. xv + 209. Illustrated. (London: A. and C. Black, 1897.)
