Thermal radiation of neutrons

All bodies with a temperature emit electromagnetic radiation also known as thermal radiation or blackbody radiation. If I understand it correctly, the origin of this is the thermal motion (acceleration) of the atoms and their included positive and negative charges leads to EM radiation.

Would a bunch of neutrons at, say, room temperature emit infrared radiation? I would think they would as "all bodies with a positive temperature emit electromagnetic radiation". But I'm at a loss to explain why.
