Hi Pam,
I have an 18 month female that does the same thing. I
can feel she shivering when I pick her up. It usually
stops in about 10 to 15 seconds after I pick her up.
I'm not a vet but I think 70-80 degrees is fine for a
ferret.
My female also makes a lot of noise when she sleeps.
I just figure that she's dreaming. Do ferrets dream?
