I wouldn't use a heating pad as there is always a danger of it getting wet
and shorting out. However you can get flat pads that are used in reptile
tanks. This would go under the bottom of the cage and would heat the floor.
Or possibly use "hot rocks" and wrap them well in soft materials. I don't
know how cold they can get before they might get sick. Hope this helps.

Blessings to all animals great and small and those of us who love and adore
them.

Hi I had wanted to ask a question about heating pads and ferrets. The temp.
here is in the 40's mostly, but I sleep with the fan on due to asthma. My
babies are in my room and I was wondering if there was any way that I could
put a heating pad in the cage with them so that they all could snuggle onto
that. I was just wondering if anyone knows of any dangers, before I try it.
