Hello all,
My question pertains to our 9 month old sable ferret, Spencer. He has a tendancy to shiver. I notice it is the worst when he first wakes up (and after a bath, which I assume is normal since I shiver after being wet too), which makes me think his body temperature is just low due to inactivity. Is this normal for ferrets or should I worry it is related to a health problem? Our other ferret has never shivered... not even after a bath.
Thanks for your help.
P.S we keep our house at ~72 degrees F or 22.5C
