How long do ferrets live?
Home > Ferret FAQ > General / Basic Ferret Care > How long do ferrets live?
The average ferret life span is 7 to 10 years, though many ferrets will develop one of the common ferret illnesses around the age of 3 years. If you aren't sure that you will be able to provide your ferret with a home for 10 years, getting a ferret right now probably isn't a good idea.
