Ferret Stats
Scientific Name:  Mustela furo or M. putorius furo
 Size:  13 to 20 inches in length, 1.5 to 3 pounds in weight (males are usually larger than females)
 Origin:  Europe or Asia
 Life Expectancy:  5 to 7 years
 Temperament:  Ferrets are playful, inquisitive creatures. They can be trained to use a litter box. In the wild, polecats live in burrows, and the digging/burrowing instinct remains intact in domestic ferrets.
 Varieties:  According to the American Ferret Association, there are seven colors of ferrets (albino, black, black sable, champagne, chocolate, dark-eyed white, sable) and six patterns (point, standard, solid, blaze, panda, roan).
Ferret Species Profile
Domestic ferrets are thought to be descended from European or Steppe polecats bred in captivity since the time of the Roman Empire. Ferrets compensate for their fairly poor sense of sight with excellent senses of hearing and smell. They are carnivores and have a slight musky odor.
