I feel like I'm missing out on something here!!! Everyone talks about how their ferrets look like polar bears or cows with their fur/weight gain. And how beautiful their new winter coats are. I have yet to see weight gain, fluffier fur or a new coat color. We have 6, and they are kept indoors, but we have windows, and they do see the occasional outdoors. The apartment temperature is kept on 69 degrees, with their room slightly cooler (maybe 66, 67). I've heard from people in very warm climates that they've seen the changes in their ferrets. Although the next few days will be milder (in the 50's), we've fluxuated around 30 degrees here lately. I live in Pittsburgh, PA. Any thoughts from people out there that are familiar with this? I'm not really "worried" because I doubt that its harming them in any way, but I always thought I'd wake up one morning to see my 1 pound sable female weighing 2 pounds with a grey coat!
