Ferrets need temperatures below 80F. Anything 80 and above can make them sick or even kill them.

Normal room temperature is fine.

As for cold, I had mine out in the snow last weekend and they loved it! I wouldn't expose them to that cold for extended periods of time but short term is fine.

The class was wondering if there was a certain temperature we need to obtain in order to keep her comfortable. She'll be here at the school through out the week, with the exception of the weekends and summer. Just a beginner question.
