pencoed hunter 7 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Is there anything I can do to keep my ferrets nice and cool becuase its getting too hot for them. There in the shade outside fresh water 3 times a day and cleaned out every 3 days. I just thought of those ice thing that you put in the freezer to keep food cool would that be ok for them and would it be ok in with the kits?? or what ells could I use???? please help Quote Link to post
The one 8,514 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Get 4 two litre plastic bottles 3/4 fill them and freeze them put a couple into the nest box and swap them for frozen ones every day you think it's hot Quote Link to post
RWDSteve 0 Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 I've just filled an old jam jar with cold water and chilled it in the freezer, put it in the sleeping area and she seems happy enough. Quote Link to post

moses 5 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 i have computer fans on my hutch fronts simply buy them from pc world for 2 or 3 pound and attach them to a 9v battery. Quote Link to post
ferreter.al 22 Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 i spray mine with water,they really like it and sit there licking it off end of their noses,also got s bit of a smimming pool for them in garden but its no good for the jills with kits,thats not a bad idea with the jars of cold water thow,mite try that.atb Quote Link to post
Guest shadowz Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 sadly fans dont cool ferrets dont at all. ferrets dont sweat so fans wont work. I find the frozen water bottles work the best. Cheap and easy to do as well - i wrap mine in a pillow case before i put them in the hutch Quote Link to post
