Most physiological data for ferrets is very similar to that of the domestic cat. Ferrets are obligate carnivores that typically have a total length of ~50cm (with a ~13cm tail) and weight between 0.7 - 2kg. Ferrets have a natural life span of between 7 - 10 years and males are substantially larger than females, with males up to 2kg and females up to 1.2kg. Ferrets become sexually mature at around 4-6 months and occurs in the first spring after birth.
