Ferret

Ferrets have an inquisitive nature and display a variety of playful behaviours. If well handled by people from a young age, ferrets can become socialized and learn to see humans as companions. They can form a strong bond with their owners.

If well taken care of, healthy ferrets can live up to 10 years of age. However, their average lifespan is approximately 6 years.
