How can you tell a ferrets age?
You can tell a ferret’s age by looking carefully at their two upper canine teeth. A ferret under 1 year has bright, solid white canine teeth. At 1.5-2.5 years, the tip of the tooth will begin to become a little yellowed, and almost translucent.

About Teeth
Teeth are small, white structures made of calcium that are found in the jaw bone of animals and humans. The shape of an animal's teeth determine what that animal eats. Herbivores eat plants, which are hard to digest. As a result they have a mouth full of molars to grind and chew their food. Carnivores eat meat, so their teeth are designed to kill prey and rip flesh. Humans are omnivores, so we have a little of both.
