Please before you slag some one off in public think about what you are saying. Do you actually know his person and know where they live, what their climate is like, or what the garage is like? I know there are extremes of climate in the US but if the garage gets cold so what, a ferret with plenty of bedding is quite happy in the cold, ask my lot out in the ice at the moment. Most people in the UK keep ferrets in hutches and sheds, they are happy and healthy out doors. There are several months yet before w need to worry about the heat, a lot could change in that time. Unless you know all the circumstances then back off. Mary http://bristolferretclub.btik.com [Posted in FML 6243]
