The ferrets handled it pretty well, they just slept in piles instead of spread out. We also put a small space heater near their cage that blew hot air towards a corner of one of the floors. We didn't have it on very often, but for several hours one night we did. Here is a picture showing Eve who lined up in front of it to enjoy the heat (the bottom of the picture shows the heater so you can see the ferret position relative to the heater):
The other ferrets dealt with the cold in their own ways as well. Chewbacca stayed in his tent even more than normal:
And Rex and Brussels slept under the blankets in the hammock (Rex shown below):
And of course Hanneke had to find a way to stay warm too. No one call the style police:
That is of course hot chocolate she is drinking. On the plus side, it did make our Christmas tree fit in more:
Our heater is back on though so it is back to norma Florida indoor weather. I hope all is well up north where I imagine the cold is harder to escape.

Winter is my dorkiest season, since keeping warm totally trumps fashion. On the other hand, that outfit isn't too bad for hanging out in the house. I mean, the pants are green, but the navy top is subdued enough to balance it out. And the hat includes both green and navy (what a match!).
Okay, it's a little hard to take all this talk of "winter" from you Florida people. It's 24 degrees here, and I couldn't stop at the red lights on my drive to work this morning because of all the ice on the roads. How about you? ;-)
But I do feel your pain with not having a heater when you want it - ours went out twice this fall.
