Denna sida på svenska. On this page you will find information about books and booklets for both breeders and pet owners. Also some on genetics for those it may concern...
Don't forget to join your local mouse club - they might have more books or booklets!
Pet Owner
- RECOMMENDED - Read the book Mice - A Complete Pet Owner's Manual by
Horst Bielfeld, it is really good.
- All About Your Mouse by Bradley Viner, this is a small book that contains some desinformation, like when it says that males invariably will fight, but is otherwise at least about mice as pets.
Mouse fancier
- RECOMMENDED - A recommended book for the mouse fancier is the Encyclopedia of Pet Mice
by Tony Jones, which is still quite good even though there are spiny mice on the cover and not real mice...
- And also the book Exhibition and Pet Mice by Tony Cooke, but remember that the genetic parts in this book is partly incorrect!
- Your First Mouse by Nick Mays, is a short introduction to owning and breeding mice, but the cage recommendations are very small, actually so small that they are illegal here in Sweden. Also it doesn't bother the author to keep just one lonely mouse.
- Fancy Mice by Chris Henwood, is another book about mice. The cage size recommendations for pet mice are fine, but not for breeding mice... It doesn't bother the author to keep just one lonely mouse.
- Mice As A Hobby by Jack Young, is a book about mice for both the beginner and the more experinced mouse owner and breeder. There a few faults in the book, like when Chocolate Himalayan are called Siamese, but otherwise this book is not that bad. And the photos are very pretty.
Mouse breeder
- RECOMMENDED - If you want to study mouse genetics you
should really try Colour Inheritance In Small Livestock
by Roy Robinson which contains accurate accounts of the genetics.
- RECOMMENDED - Another recommended book is The Coat Colors of Mice by Willys K.
Silvers - a really good book about mouse genetics that
you even can read on-line at
http://www.informatics.jax.org/wksilvers/ !
- RECOMMENDED - Practical Inbreeding by W Watmough, is a superb textbook about the finer points of breeding for excellence, and is really one of the best books you can buy if you really to breed show winners.
- Mice As A New Pet by Richard Pfarr, is a book about breeding mice and mouse genetics. Much of the mouse genetics in the book is faulty and since mouse genetics is a very big part of the book that should not be... The photos are very pretty though.
