Remember heat kills ferrets fast! With the heat wave please try to keep them cool. Paddling pools with balls, ice cubes, or frozen bottles in gives them something to try and fish out keeping the paw pads wet and this will cool them.
Cool tiles on the floor even slate or ceramic. Frozen water bottles, ice cubes etc around the place.
Wet sheets over runs.
Misting fans with water chambers.
Normal fans sometimes just push warm air around.
Air flow in runs.
If inside is cooler than out consider moving them in.
Ferrets do not pant or sweat and do not do well in warm weather. They are more adapted to cooler climates.
They can’t pant like dogs to cool and have to sweat glands like us.
Heat is a killer!
Watch out for

⚠️Lethargy: Your usually energetic ferret may become unusually tired, sluggish, or unwilling to move.
⚠️Drooling, vomiting, or gasping: These are clear indicators of overheating and should not be ignored.
⚠️Lying flat on the floor: A ferret experiencing heat stroke may lie completely flat and appear weak or immobile.
⚠️Excessive panting or salivating: Open-mouth breathing and heavy salivation can signal extreme distress.
⚠️Mucus discharge: A buildup of mucus around the nose or mouth is a potential symptom.
⚠️Flushed appearance: The ferret’s skin may appear red, particularly around the ears, face, or body.
⚠️Red footpads: Check the pads of your ferret’s feet for redness, which can indicate overheating.
⚠️Glassy eyes and shallow breathing: A dazed look and weak, shallow breaths are critical signs.
⚠️Seizures: Severe heat stroke may lead to convulsions, indicating an emergency.

Get to a vet immediately with any of these symptoms.

5yr old Binx is looking for a forever home. He’s very sweet natured and loves cuddles. He does however have one testicle that needs removal still. He’s currently in St Austel.
As he’s been a lone ferret his whole life there is a risk he may not get along with others.
If you feel you can offer a home please get in touch. Happy to sort a testicle removal for this lad here.
