Hi Tiffany,
If the temp is in the 80's then it is time to turn the
ac on! Sorry ferrets heat stress when it gets that hot.
Sure a fan will help, but the ac is needed.
Another thing to do for the summer is to put a heavy water
bowl (one they can not spill) in with the ferrets. Ferrets
will drink more from a bowl than from a water bottle.
You can also add an ice cube to the water bowl to
keep the water cool and give the ferrets something to
play with.
Hope that helps,
