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.
And another thing, how could can it be for them, before they catch
a cold?
It is much better for ferrets to be in a slightly cooler temperature
than to be overheated. As long as your ferrets have blankets to
snuggle under, no heating pad is needed or desirable.
