>nutmeg seeds (? Don't ask me?),
Whole nutmeg when chewed produces a mild hallucinogenic effect. As with
most hallucinogens, they are categorized as toxins and come under the study
of toxicology. However, to the best of my knowledge, there are no reports
of nutmeg overdose on record.
how long to ferrets live or how long is there life span? i'm interested in
>buying a ferret for christmas and i would like to know there life span
>before i get one.
There are conflicting reports dependent upon country of origin, breeder,
etc.. However, it appears that the range of life span collectively is about
6-10 years, while life expectancy is approx. 5.5 - 6 yrs. Basically, this
translates into while some ferrets can live to be 10-12 yrs, most will die
by 5-6 years of age, genetic defects including heart valve abnormalities,
juvenile lymphoma, etc. take many ferret lives by two years of age.
Accidents, including box springs, recliners, and just plain stepped on or
sat on account for many untimely deaths.
best wishes,
until next time,
