Black-footed ferrets in the wild are susceptible to becoming prey themselves. Common predators of ferrets include coyotes (Canis latrans), badgers (Taxidea taxus) and great-horned owls (Bubo virginianus). Other predators can include bobcats (Lynx rufus) and hawks and eagles.
Ferret lifespan is from about 5-9 years. If a ferret is properly cared for it is likely to live a healthier, happier and longer life. Just like with humans part of a ferrets lifespan depends on how long their parents, grandparents, grand grand parents etc. lived for.
