Hello. I searched the archives and found that ferrets can survive

some pretty cold temperatures in an emergency. However, what I
didn't find is what is the ideal temperatures? How high to do I
need
to set my thermostat? I can tolerate the cold because I just keep

putting on more sweaters when I'm home, so I use to keep the temp.

low. Now that I have ferrets, I'm worried that my house will be
too
cold this winter.


Ferrets do much better in cold than in heat. I keep my house at
about 70, but could go lower if it was just the ferrets. I also
have birds, which is why I keep it about 70.
