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 [Posted in FML issue 2956]
