Why did I decide on writing about the Syrian Hamster?

Firstly because I adore this animal: those twinkling eyes, plump body and dexterous feet have given me a great time with them and a lot of our customers at the veterinary clinic have different kinds of hamsters.

Secondly because as well as you, I totally hated that there was no specific book on Syrian Hamsters, but only a few on hamsters in general, that would entertain and teach me enough to read it – all the way from the very first page to the last topic.

Anyways, I again met a now brilliant colleague of mine on the internet: Mich Medvedoff.

She is a real story teller and since it was so joyful writing her and getting back her quick responses, I told her more about my project and that she would turn it into something really unique. So I agreed on having her do the writing, based on well-researched information and my personal experience with these animals. I tried to pay regard to what relatives of mine who owned several hamsters wanted to learn more about. Apart from adding my stories from the veterinary clinic, we checked out what customers on the internet would have liked to be added into books that were related to the Syrian Hamster. All this turned the book into an actual hamster bible, with eye-opening advices and thoughts, mostly expressed in a way a hamster would see it. Isn’t that just so cute :-) !?

We hope to have written a funny and charming, nevertheless lecturing non-fiction book for your whole family, kids and adults – no matter if you own a hamster or not (yet!).

I wish this book will remove the scales from your eyes. Enjoy entering the World of the Hamster!

Kiss,
