Personally? I have females averaging from 550 grams, to 1200 grams. My
males range from 900 grams to almost 1600 grams. I'm thinking those
are likely average weights for North American ferrets who usually come
from the mills, and have had a pediatric spay/neuter. I do have an
acquaintance in the UK who's males are approx. 4-7 lbs. But again,
these are whole hobs.
