I have 3 ferrets, and whenever they first wake up, they shiver like they're cold. Is this normal?

Yes... that is their body temp. adjusting to the normal temp...
You should buy a book called ferrets for dummies... it will help a lot

People like ferrets shake to raise their body temperature. In ferrets that does not only occur when they're cold, but also when they first wake up. Not all ferrets do it, but the ones that do shake like leaves in the wind. I have four ferts now and only one, my smallest but oldest female does it every time. My other female does it occasionally, the boys never do.
So, yes, it's normal.
