Domestic ferrets have an average length of approximately 20 inches (51 cm) including a 5 inch (13 cm) tail, weigh about 2-4 pounds (1 kg). Male Ferret: average 3 - 5 lbs, 17 - 24 length (1.35 - 2.25 kg and 43 - 61 cm). Female Ferret: average 1 - 3 lbs, 12 - 16 length (0.45 - 1.35 kg and 30 - 40 cm). Domestic ferrets reach their adult size at one year old. A typical female domestic ferret weighs from 0.3 to 1.1 kg. Male domestic ferrets can weigh from 0.9 to 2.7 kg, neutered males often weigh less than unaltered males. Domestic ferrets have a long and slender body. Females are typically 33 to 35.5 cm long and males are 38 to 40.6 cm long.
Older ferrets, sometimes referred to as senior or geriatric ferrets, often have special needs and health care requirements. Most ferrets live 5-7 years, and serious health problems can start to occur as early as 3-4 years of age, so most veterinarians consider a ferret to be a senior when she is about 3-4 years old.
