Well, that's if you're an animal person. Is it worth giving a pet a good life? No matter how long they naturally live? I would have to say yes. But they do live 7 to 9 years normally. It's important they are given the right diet. They're pure carnivores. So, anything other than that can lead to blockages in their bowel's and eventually death. A good food source for them is raw chicken. I give mine chicken wings. As the bone marrow holds nutrients that is needed for health as well.
If you're looking for a good pet I highly recommend them. They're neither like dogs or cats. But they do have their niche as a family pet.
