Last night I had fed Badger some banana (he likes it, so I give it
        to him every once in awhile) and he started coughing or something.
 
        I was worried because I thought he might have been choking or
        something... but he seemed O.K.  Then he started rubbing his
        chin on the rug, a behavior I had never before witnessed.  That
        let me to wonder if maybe he had a cold, because he had sneezed
        a few times last night.
 
        This leads me to ask how tolerant are ferrets to cool air?  My room
        is always cool because it has no direct heating system.  I actually
        like it cool to sleep in, but are ferrets very sensitive to cool air?
 
        I also sleep w/ a fan on, but it does not hit the ferret cage
        directly.
 
        I haven't really seen any answers to that question in my ferret
        books...  and his winter fur is coming in and he's getting pretty
        fat and fluffy...  but I wouldn't want to give him a cold, or worse,
        pneumonia!!
 
        Thanks...
 
        Mike
