Kory,In my collection of all ages I have found respratory illness from cool temps. very rare to none.But staying cold for days on end you could have it.They will sometimes have eye and nose discarge from being to dry.Cold and dry together for several days can be very unhealthy.If this animal has started out week it might get sick faster than a very healthy phayrei would.SOMETIMES just warming them up is all they need.Place it in a pan of shallow warm water every day.You should be able to see it drink.If not things could be bad.If it eats,thats a good sign that it will be ok if things change, ie, H2O, Humidity,soaking,higher temps.Dust free enviroment.Look for a throbbing neck with the head up,and wide open eyes.If it doesnt do that,its to the Vet.After treatment dont forget to get the gut flora back.Good Luck.Vic
