Default ferret question?

my ferrets rosie and bingo seem to be shivering a lot when i get them out? theyre kept indoors in a heated room so theyre not cold and they dont feel cold theyre bedding has 2 big blankets that they snuggle under too so shouldnt be because there cold they have plenty to eat and drink and are far from underweight does anyone know why they do it? it doesnt seem to bother them they still dont stop lol but is a little worrying x

Does it happen when you wake them up? If so it's just them adjusting their metabolic rate from sleepy time mode to wide awake mode.

Mine do it just after waking up, my little male always does it when he is removed from sleeping in the back of the fridge.
