Summer is the perfect time to own a ferret. Beautiful days are ideal for outdoor explorations with your fuzzy friend. However, ferrets are extremely sensitive to heat and humidity. In fact, ferrets can succumb to heatstroke in a matter of minutes. Thankfully, there are some simple ways to let your ferret safely enjoy all summer has to offer.
outdoor essentials
Ferrets cannot pant or sweat like other animals - humans included - to help regulate their body temperature. Therefore, careful preparation is the key to safe outdoor activities with your fuzzy. Essential items no ferret should be without include:
 |
Playpen with Mat/Cover - contain your ferret without stifling his curiosity with this huge, extra-durable ferret playpen. Best of all, the dual-function mat/cover helps add necessary shade to protect your ferret from the sun. |

|
Ferret Harnesses & Leads - keep your little escape artist close during any outdoor fun. Virtually escape-proof harnesses - some with matching leads - ensure your ferret is always safely by your side so you can whisk him inside should extreme temperatures set in. |

Drinkwell Pet Fountain - satisfy your ferret's thirst and water needs whether he's indoors or out. Automatic fountain delivers a continuous, trickling flow of filtered, aerated, and delicious water. |
It is important that you help protect your ferret from high temperatures and humidity, both indoors and out. Ferrets are most comfortable when temperatures fall between 60°F and 68°F. But daily forecasts and temperatures can change quickly. As such, it is vital you prepare for any type of outdoor activity and all types of weather. |
