Question:

Room temperature for ferrets?

During the day it's about 65/70 degrees, but at night I pretty much MUST have the fan on to sleep (the noise and temperature both help me a lot to get to sleep), and it drops down and gets pretty coldMy ferret has a bed, with blanketsEvery time I've picked her up after she's been in the bed she's been very warmMy question is - even though she has the bed to keep warm, is it still bad for her to to be in such a cold environment? If so, is there anything I can do for her to improve the situation, WITHOUT removing the fan from the equation?I only turn the fan on low, by the wayIt has 3 speeds, and I ALWAYS have it on 1.

That's fineIn fact, some sources will tell you that a ferret is most comfortable at temperatures a bit below room temperature As long as a ferret has a proper bed, low temperatures (as long as they aren't below freezing) shouldn't bother themThere are even some people who keep their ferrets entirely outside- they just give them properly insulated nesting boxes to sleep in during the cold monthsAs a side note, ferrets were domesticated from european polecats which live in part in russia! That's about as snowy and cold as it gets.
