I have always been told to keep the ferrets living conditions below 82 degrees and usually cooler, so I don't know what the heat will do....... the reason I am asking is, I was asked to take in a young ferret whos new owner didn't have air-conditioning (central Texas=100+) and whos ferret was seizing and had stopped breathing!? Having never had hot fuzzies I wanted to know if this could happen OR do I need to watch and check for other ailments such as insulonoma? So far I have only had Roscoe a day and he seems to love it here (I know, I know, don't get attached, he is just visiting) but do I understand them right? is that kind of reaction normal from overheating? Or do I now have bigger things to worry about? I am integrating him to better food, and bottled water, and have given him the big cage to get him used to being here, I don't want to throw him in with my six for at least a couple of weeks (and a vet visit later) I think that if they move or get air-conditioning they will want him back, he is a beautiful boy : ) but the way they had a step son drop him off with no food or cage or info I would just as soon spend a little money and make sure, either way it needs to be done. So, what does over heating do? Susan and the six in TX + Roscoe (don't get attached, HA!) [Posted in FML issue 3141]
