Well when I got my ferrets they told me about 5-7 years, but they could live longer if they are well taken care of. I think 3 years old is considered a senior in the ferret world.

The fact that we are living and breathing and able to do all these things. The fact that we are not rocks and some divine coincidence made use who we are instead of some inorganic atom. The fact we can give things worth. We can categorise. Its all beautiful, the sight, the sound, the feel, the emotion, the taste. Even pain. We can feel that not many other things can. Pain may be painful, but we can feel it just as we can feel happy. Its amazing really that out of all of this we can do these things. Although it seems to suck sometimes its still wonderful. random fact: if you shoot a rabbit, it doesnt know why it feels pain, it doesn't register that there is an explanation, it just knows it feels pain and as a reaction will run away, even if its dying. Shoot a human (even if they did not know what a gun was) it would realise its something launched, have some sort or knowledge of what to do and so on. I dont think this was relevant but its written now... But if youre looking for one reason it would definitely be pie.

no, the life span of a ferret is 8-10 yrs. so they can live up to 10 yrs., and possibly older i guess, but they are prone to certain cancers, so usually the average could be 5, one of my ferrets died from jaw cancer at 2 yrs. :(

A ferret would be good to last a day if he/she escaped their master's home and entered next door to my father's home; dad has handy a .44 cal hand "cannon" and his aim is amazing.
