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.
Most of the time, with proper care ferrets can live longer. I once knew a ferret that lived up to 13 years of age and she was a very happy little thing too! The owner always gave her tender loving care and made sure she was well looked after.
