: Fred shivers a lot. Why? is he just scared? Cold?
: i try and keep the tepature around 65 to 75. usually it's closer to 70 or 75.

I would say that 65 is a bit on the cold side. I study animals from Australia,remember that these animals come from a warmer climate. Even if they were borned inthe US they still have their genes. 70-80 is close to most comfortable but remember to keep them away from drafty windows, heater vents, or air conditioner vents. They can still get too hot. Make sure there is something soft and warm in their nesting box if it does drop to a colder temp.
