If they are younger - like 8 months old or so, it's fine.=A0 Most youngster=
s put on a lot of extra weight for their first winter.=A0 :-)
=A0
Also, while it may not be getting cooler, the days are getting shorter, so =
their internal clock is telling them to get ready for winter - colder weath=
er and less food available (were they not living in the lap of luxury at yo=
ur house <g>) - so they put on weight to survive winter.
=A0
Don't worry about it too much unless they get way overweight, stop moving a=
round, or you see some other changes.=A0 :-)
=A0
Sound like happy healthy ferrets to me.
