For a while now, I have been contemplating sharing my with a ferret or
two (probably two). There has been no hurry, since my life is not quite
ferret-ready.
One of the issues I have is to do with 'heat stress'. I have read that
above 27.C (81.F) is bad for a ferret. I live in Sydney, Australia. An
example of a summer's day in Sydney would be today with 33.C (90.F), 80%
humidity. (This would be outside-tempature, but it would still be hot
inside). I have read they need water to cool off in, as well as drinking
water. I live in a small unit. There is also the thought, that if it is a
hot day then I will most likely be at work and unable to remedy the problem
until I return home.
How suitable is this for a ferret? If it is unsuitable then maybe having
ferrets is not such a ... hot idea. Any ferret owners with experience or
knowledge with ferrets in similar climates?
Cheers,
Pablo
