Ferrets are susceptible to hypothermia in very cold weather. While they can tolerate brief exposure to cool temperatures, prolonged periods in freezing or near-freezing conditions are dangerous. Their small body mass means they lose heat quickly. Always supervise them closely, ensure they have warm, enclosed shelter, and avoid exposing them to wind chill. If their ears or paws feel cold to the touch, bring them inside immediately.
