Warmer weather is coming
I know its only April but there have been some pretty warm days already! Summer seems to be just around the corner, so one thing that I wanted to tell you was how to keep your ferret safe from heat especially during the summer months.
Ferrets tend to be susceptible to heat stroke. When the temperatures get over 80 degress it can actually be fatal! Some of the warning signs of heat stroke that you can look for are heaving panting, runny nose and mouth, lethargy, shaking or even unconciousness. Never leave your ferret locked in a vehicle or house when the temperature is over 80 degrees!!
One of the products that I have used that is wonderful for preventing and helping with heatstroke is Marshall Ferret-Aide. It is an electrolyte replacement that you can put right in the water. It helps to maintain hydration during warm weather.
If you see your ferret starting to get heatstroke, remove him or her from the sun/heat immediately. Make sure they have plenty of water to drink, with Ferret-Aide if possible. Place your ferret in a dry bathtub which tends to stay cool or on a cool towel. Placing cool water on the ferrets stomach or feet can also help to lower body temp - but don't use cold water! Another good idea is to freeze a 2 liter soda bottle filled with water and wrap it in a towel. This can be placed in the ferrets cage to help him or her cool off.
Hopefully keeping your ferret hydrated and using an electrolye replacement such as Ferret-Aide will help to avoid this. I just wanted to give you some extra tips on helping prevent heat stroke in your ferrets. Enjoy the nice weather!

Safety First!
Here’s another great product from Marshall Pet Products. The Marshall Pet Products Cord Protector is good for Ferrets, cats, dogs, or any small animal. The Cord Protector is safe and non-toxic. It has a citrus “infused” scent that deters pets from chewing. The Cord Protector is 10’ long and pre slit so it is easy to use. It’s also flexible and clear. The Marshall Pet Products Cord Protector is a great buy and a good way to keep your pets safe.

Something Yummy
Are you looking for a tasty treat? I know I was, and then I found the Marshall’s Bandits Ferret Treats. These treats have a wonderful and exciting taste with out losing the nutrition that you need.The Bandits Ferret Treats are protein based. That means that they’re a healthy choice that ferrets and their owners can both agree on! I really like how they come in four delicious flavors. You can choose from Original Chicken, Meaty Bacon, Raisin and Peanut Butter. I recommend the Marshall’s Bandit Ferret Treats to all my friends.

A Comfy Home
I was recently looking for a new cage when I stumbled upon the Marshall Chalet. What a great find! This cage is a great size and measures 39.4”L x 22.4”W x 27.6”D. With all that room it has 2 adjustable platforms and 2 ramps and can easily fit 2 ferrets or most small pets like chinchillas, bunnies, ferrets, etc.
When I got the Marshall Chalet home I found that it’s easy to put together and has a deep base. The deep base is great for keeping my mess in and easy to clean. The Chalet also has 2 access doors. 1 flip top and 1 drop down style which also doubles as a drop down ramp.
Just when I was thinking that I couldn’t possibly ask for more. I found that Marshall’s included $25 in rebates! The rebates are for food, litter, bi-oder, treats, and accessories.

New Toy!
As I was looking through my blog entries I realized that I have never told you about any Marshall toys that i enjoy.
One of the new toys out from Marshall Pet Products that i really like is the Marshall Sport Balls. The sports balls are a great size and are made of a soft fleece material. They also have a bell inside that will keep your ferrets entertained for hours.
I really like how you can choose your favorite sport and have fun with basketball, football, tennis, and soccer. These would make a great addition to any ferrets toy collection.
