Well, I guess I am evil mommy then. :o)
When winter hits here, (Las Vegas, NV), my ferrets are in a small room
with a small window up high. I keep that window open in the winter. The
whole winter. Temps here might get as low as 30. Their room gets quite
chilly.
I give them cardboard boxes with lots of fleece in them with only a hole
big enough for them to get in. They have a warm and dark place to be. I
also put a rug or fleece under their food and water bowls so they don't
stand on a cold floor.
They grow nice winter coats they blow in the spring.
I say 60 is just fine. I too don't keep my house too warm in the winter.
Being from Chicago, I just don't think it gets that cold here in Vegas.
