Reader Reviews for "THE ODD LOT: Raising Unusual Animals"

Reviewed by Linda Beattie Inlow	1/11/2006
I married a man with 5 llamas, when he died we had 40 llamas, 6 Shetland sheep, 2 African serval cats, and the domesticated barn cat. It was difficult to find animals to copliment the llamas. We found so little research on the animals we were interested in, namely ostrich, emu and sika, we decided to compile the information we had gleaned into a book. We included information on other "odd" creatures like kangaroos, pot bellied kids and miniature livestock. We attempted to put in information that would benefit the curious - what the animals were, where they came from, owners - resources, publications, organizations and potential owners - actual comments and advise from owners, web sites and phone numbers for contact. This book was a work of love and published long after Richard's death, but his research and enthusiasm for the project fill every page.
