Ferret can tolerate cold temperatures very well, they normally don't get cold. Ideal temperature for a ferret is about 60 - 70 degrees Fahrenheit. When a ferret sleeps, it's body naturally lowers their temperature, so upon waking they will shiver to warm up, but it doesn't mean that it's cold. Also a ferret will shiver when frightened. They have poorly developed sweat glands and cannot tolerate temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Answer 2

Ferrets shiver for many reasons but the most common reason is due to body temperature. When a ferret is cold it shivers the same way humans do. Some ferrets shiver when they wake up because during a very deep sleep their body temperature will drop.

Shivering can also be a sign of illness in your ferret. If you notice that he or she is shivering a lot or more than they used to, it would be advisable to take the ferret to the vet to make sure it isn't anything serious.
