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.
See if you have enough time to play with a ferret. Ferrets are social animals. They will not be happy if they don't have time to play with a human companion. A ferret is, by no means, a hands off pet, so make sure you can dedicate adequate time to playing with your ferret. Ferrets do sleep a lot. They tend to be sleeping for about 18 hours a day. However, during times when they are awake, they are very active and need a lot of stimulation.
