What temperature should ferrets be kept in2007-11-24 22:18:02Answers:

Ferrets are not rodents, in fact they will kill rodents, ie - rats, mice, rabbits, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs. They should not be kept in temperatures above 85 degrees, (they cannot sweat) they will have a heat stroke and can die. when your ferret first wakes up, it trembles, not because its cold. their heart rate slows when they're sleeping, so they shiver to get the heart rate back up.

Ferrets aren't rodents. They should be kept in normal room temperture. When they wake up it's normal that they shiver, they lower their body tempurature when they sleep so predators will think that they are dead or unconcious, and when they wake up they shiver to get their body temperature up.
