Punta Gorda, a small historic town nestled on the shores of pristine Charlotte Harbor, a large estuary off the Gulf of Mexico, is one of the oldest incorporated cities in Florida.
Before you adopt a ferret, you should ask yourself âHow long do ferrets liveâ. Actually, you should ask yourself how long any pet you intend on caring for will live. The average ferret life span is 7 years. Thankfully, as vets and ferret owners learn more and more about fuzzies, the ferret life expectancy seems to be increasing. 9 to 10 year old fuzzies are no longer exceptions.
Black-footed ferrets live in the burrows of prairie dogs, sometimes of prairie dogs they have eaten. Ferrets are relatively poor diggers and do not dig their own burrows. Prairie dog burrows can be as much as 15 feet deep and 60 feet long and sometimes connect with other burrows.
