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.
Ferrets have a typical Mustelid body-shape being long and slender. Their average length is about 50 cm including a 13-cm tail. Their pelage has various colorations including brown, black, white or mixed. They weigh between 0.7 kg to 2.0 kg and are sexually dimorphic as the males are substantially larger than females.
