    This book contains 4 titles, which are: 
    Ferrets - Ferrets are captivating and spirited creatures that have charmed pet enthusiasts for generations. As members of the Mustelidae family, they are closely related to otters, weasels, and polecats, from which they were domesticated over 2,500 years ago. These small, elongated mammals have evolved from their working roles as hunters to become beloved companions, celebrated for their playful and affectionate personalities. 
    Hedgehogs - First and foremost, hedgehogs are low-maintenance pets compared to more traditional animals like dogs or cats. They thrive in small, well-prepared spaces and have relatively simple dietary needs, making them ideal for individuals living in apartments or homes with limited space. Their quiet and independent nature further adds to their appeal, as they require less attention and interaction than some other pets while still forming a bond with their owners. 
    Horses - Horses are magnificent creatures, each with their own personality, quirks, and needs. As a horse owner, understanding the basics of horse care is fundamental to ensuring their well-being and happiness. This includes everything from their nutrition and grooming to training and health management. While the bond between horse and owner can be incredibly rewarding, it also requires work and commitment.  
    Snakes - The appeal of snakes as pets has grown significantly over the years. Unlike traditional pets such as dogs or cats, snakes are relatively low-maintenance creatures that do not require constant attention. They don’t need daily walks, grooming, or feeding multiple times a day. This makes them ideal for people with busy lifestyles or those who prefer a pet that does not demand much interaction. Additionally, snakes come in a wide variety of species, each with its own unique characteristics, colors, and sizes.
