Regarding domesticated ferrets, depending on the health of the ferret they usually can live anywhere between 6 to 12 years. However, they tend to have numerous medical problems which can reduce the number years significantly. Since there has not been as much research on ferrets as there has been on dogs, cats and other domesticated animals, some veterinarians may have a difficult time diagnosing certain conditions with ferrets. Therefore it's important to see a veterinarian that specializes in exotic pets like ferrets in order to keep a healthy and long living ferret.
No, if they're lucky, they reach old age as well.
When you reach age of majority in your state or country, usually 18.
I'm not a professional, and this is kind of a generalized answer, but anyone is eligible to reach adulthood, or the age at which anyone is declared an adult (18 in the USA).

Age is irrelevant to owning a ferret. Owning a ferret requires a lot of time, patience, knowledge, and responsibility.
The right age for adulthood is 18 :)
Ferrets reach adult size and weight at about 4 to 6 months, Sexual maturity age is at eight to twelve months. First possible mating is at six months or the first spring following birth. The female ferret first breeding season after her birth will be between five to nine months
Breeding occurs throughout the year. Females reach sexual maturity at around two years of age while males reach sexual maturity at around one year of age but males normally do not establish territories and thus gain breeding rights until they are about three years old.
In the US, ferrets can be bought from private breeders, however they usually require an agreement or contract that you will neuter your ferret before breeding age. Breeding ferrets is very complex that requires a great deal of knowledge.
In Canada, the age of adulthood is 18. In the USA, the age of adulthood is 21.
