I think I understand now! The temperature in which her housing is in is always high.... Well your best defense (since ferrets are prone to heat exhaustion) is : Shade - (put a towel over the top of the cage but just the top so that there is air circulation) A fan - that will help circulate the air and cool her Ice - put some Ice in with a little bit of water in a bowl. The cool water helps cool them down. ( I am making these suggestions with the thoughts that an air conditioned enviroment is not an option right now - but should be considered a Great investment in the future to help keep your ferret healthy ) Good luck & I hope that this is the information that you were seeking (I apologize but I have a hard time understanding your posts sometimes) Denice & the three wonder Weasels == Denice, and the frantic five [Posted in FML issue 3450]
