good advice.always put a frozen water bottle in their sleeping quarters and a cpl in the court.as you said heat stroke can kill your charges in no time at all.spray the wee buggers with the hose aswell.suprising how much they enjoy it.

Sound advice there. If you've got any bedding in other than wood shavings at the moment, get it out! Also worth waiting until later in the evening to feed and remove uneaten food in the morning because of the inevitable fly problems!

Aye the hot weathers a pain ive two lots of bottles one in with the ferrets and the other lot in the freezer and change them round twice a day as its still very humid at night and ive put extra water bottles up as they seem to be drinking a lot more

yep sheds get bloody red hot in this wheather, make sure you leave doors open.

 

Ive got frozen bottles in bed areas, tray of water for some of em to paddle in. I also

hose the top of their shed/run down. In middle of day I will give them a quick dunk in water.

Some of them also like been sprayed aswell.

i no ferrets dont sweat but keeps the tempriture down in the hutches a bit so reduses the risk of heat stroke as there is a constent flow of air Edited June 29, 2010 by clabby
