Will a domestic ferret get sick if kept in cold temperature environment?

Domesticated ferrets are susceptible to respiratory illnesses like influenza, distemper, and pneumonia, and cold weather can increase their risk of contracting these illnesses.

Here are some ways you can help your ferret stay warm and healthy in cold weather:

- Keep your ferret indoors. Ferrets are not meant to live outdoors, and they can easily get sick if they are exposed to cold temperatures.

- Make sure your ferret has a warm place to sleep. Their bed should be draft-free and made of soft materials, such as blankets or towels.

- Provide your ferret with plenty of food and water. Ferrets need extra calories to stay warm in cold weather, so make sure to give them plenty of food and water.

- Avoid taking your ferret outside for long periods of time. If you do take your ferret outside, make sure to keep them close to you and covered up.

- Watch for signs of illness. If your ferret shows any signs of illness, such as sneezing, coughing, or diarrhea, take them to the vet immediately.
