Yes, your cage can be outside during the winter as long as your ferret is NOT kept in it. Ferrets are domesticated animals and need to be indoors. By keeping an animal outside, you can easily cut its life span down tremendously.
A ferret should be allowed out of the cage for about 4 hours daily. Outside time of the cage, walks on a harness is fun!
He wants out. Is your ferret getting enough time out of it's cage?
yes as long as the cage can stay steady with wind, rain or snow and as long as it is out of the wind, and it has to be warm and dry.
If your ferret is depressed - try to spend as much time as you can playing with him, and letting him have lots of time out of his cage. Try something new such as leash training for walks outside. Just don't let him sit in a cage by himself.
One may purchase a ferret cage at Petco, Petsmart, Atwoods, or Walmart.

Ferrets can be put outside in temperatures below 80-85 degrees Fahrenheit and would need to be kept out of the sun. Be sure to provide plenty of food and water
I would advise against it. If the peat moss (or other plant materials) are eaten it can easily cause an intestinal blockage. Instead I would get a ferret harness and leash and take it outside instead, I think this would be more fun for the ferret.
