How's everyones ferrets coping in the weather

[pmatty77 26]

Bit of a shock the other morning,2 of my four ferrets looked as though they had been out in the run all night and were wet, shaking and looking thoroughly miserable,i have bought them all in doors for a couple of days and they seem fine now,i have got a double rabbit hutch as sleeping quarters and a home made run,i just think it's the amount of rain we have had all year everywhere is sodden, anyway have infested in a shed which i will attach my run to but will shut the run off in the winter on the wet days anyway,Mrs was moaning about the smell when they were in the house but i said the ferrets will get used to it.

Mine are fine, they are all like polar bears, theyve got loads of fleece blankets in their bed box's, newspapers on the bottom, aswell as vet bed..

The buggers are probs warmer than me.

blankets, woodshavings, plenty of food and water and they are laughing!

Keeping the shavings changed and dry, and a good supply of straw. For some reason though, their coats are thicker than they have been for years. Or that's how it seems at least.

I've put a pallet in their run, to give them a chance to get off the wet floor when outside.

i put wood shavings on the bottom of theyr sleeping quarters,then loads of hay,and the odd old tee-shirt or top of some kind, i use wood shavings for theyr muck part, i read something the other week it said to mix coffee mate with sugar a little hot water to mix it, then an egg york and milk,put that in a water bottle and it helps to keep the weight on them throughout the winter,once or twice a week i give it to mine and they love it, they cant get enough of it,i have them in for atleast an hour a day, the one jill iv got used to nip quite hard drawing blood alot of the time but since iv had her,,handling her everyday, ect ect shes come on great, cant wait for boxing days outing, have an happy christmas and a very prosperuse new year!! foxtails

mine are in their shed,,,,got a sleepin box made outta thick wood and holes drilled to stop condensation..theres 3 small blankets in there and 2 large ones..put me hand in there,,its as warm as toast.........3 jills,2 hobs all cuddled up together,,nice to see em all wrapped up n warm together,,,,,,,,id suggest if your hutch was wet inside,,turn it around so it dont face the bad weather and keep it off the floor mate..ATB

Am sure the shed will be a lot better for them then gonna run a pipe for them to go in the run,that way i can shut the run off if its too wet and they still got plenty of room inside the shed for exercise,Mrs will have to wait for the bedroom to be decorated,ferts come first
