Howdy from Eden in Seattle, Fall is definatley in the air here & our heating system has started to come on occasionally in response. Bill & I are both happy to keeep the temperature in our house down aorund 60 to 65 farenheit during the fall & winter, and think its quite confortable, but I worry about the woozles: we have hardwood floors instead of carpeting to keep my allergies under control, & the floors get durned cold especially at night. since ferrets have no fur on the bottoms of their feet I want to know if this is going to be a problem for them? lately when I pick them up their toes are pretty chilly, and I know it will get colder as winter sets in. I'm not sure what they have in the way ofnerve endings & temperature sensitivity in the pads of their feet, so I really cant tell if this is an issue or not.
