Look at those tired babies❤️! By looking at them you would think that Bootleg Betty, Shadow, and Gummybear were the ones that scrubbed down 6 double ferret nations (thier cage 2 because of long John), scrubbed the floor in the spare room (because Gump *ferret gaurd dog* peed all threw it because he was afraid of the storms), and did 8 loads of laundry......in a day and a half. 🤣

Buddy, Pepper, and Bootleg Betty went for thier recheck today. We could not get our implants today 😢.

Buddy bg was 66, so his meds got uped and we are getting meds for coccida even though his test came back negative.

Pepper bg was 44, she crashed on our way there 😭. Here meds got doubled

Bootleg Betty. ......... her bg came down to 568 (no i did not type that wrong, it was 670 the last visit) she will be totally off all meds. We will have to talk about insulin next visit if it doesn't drop to normal levels (ferrets with diabetes is extremely hard to manage)

We have a recheck on July 8th for all 3.

Please send good vibes for our little troopers ❤️

Ferrets overheat easily. They shouldn't be in temperatures over 78 degrees and definitely not out in the sun on a warm day. A fan will not help. A fan cools by blowing sweat off the body. Since a ferret can't sweat, it won't help a ferret.

Even being in a carrier can hold in too much heat, especially the bubble carriers. Those are like a magnifying glass that intensifies the heat from the sun. When traveling with your ferret, make sure it's not sitting in the sun.

If your A/C goes out or its too hot, you can:
* Use a plastic tote, ice chest or cooler with a hole for exhaust. Fill it with ice. Put a fan on top of a second pre-drilled hole or in the tote blowing upward. This will blow cool air created by the ice out of the container.
* Fill some containers with ice, cover with a cloth and put them in the ferret's area.
* Freeze bottles of water, cover with a cloth and put them in the ferret's area.
* Put ice cubes in the water bowl.
* Mist the ferret with cool water or run cool water over them. As the water evaporates, it will cool the ferret.
* Put a larger water container with cool water that the ferret can get into to cool down.
* Offer frozen treats or toys.
* Put them in a room with cool tile or flooring so they can lie on that and cool down.
* Brush well to keep off excess fur.
* Limit exercise.
* Make sure the room is well ventilated.
* Rent a portable A/C.
