<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Discover the unique personalities, behaviors, and charms of pet rats.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>People have prejudices about and fears towards rats; they are misunderstood creatures. However, for a large segment of the population, the rodents are cherished pets. The fancy rat is the most common breed of domesticated or pet rat. The name fancy rat derives from the idea of animal fancy (the promotion of domesticated animals) or the phrase to fancy (meaning to like or appreciate). Wild-caught specimens that become docile and bred for many generations still fall under the fancy type. In this book, animal activist and photographer Diane Ozdamar shares compelling, personality-filled portraits and stories about rats she's fostered, leading the way to help the countless rats currently living in animal shelters to find loving homes. The stories that accompany the portraits will give readers a sense of each subject's unique personality, fascinating behaviors, and social interactions. In addition, özdamar provides tips about rats' care and maintenance and explains how to adopt rescue rats, how many rats to adopt, and why. Readers will also get a behind-the-scenes look at özdamar's photographic approach, including how she uses a mini photo studio to produce such images. She provides quick photography tips for people who'd like to take pictures of their rats, lending the confidence they need to enjoy their own creative photo shoots.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Diane, through these superb images, managed to capture the looks, attitudes, and expressions that make rats such adorable companions. Rats are, behavior-wise, the most closely related to human beings compared to other pets, and will engage in wonderful social interactions and bring support, complicity, and love." --Christophe Bulliot, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Diplomate of the European College of Zoological Medicine, Small Mammals<br><br>"Mischief, sweetness--the rats pictured by Diane sparkle with joy; a great way to lighten their highly prejudiced reputation . . . " --Charlotte Bousquet, Writer & Scenarist<br>
