Maximum longevity: 8.4 years (captivity) Observations: It has been reported that captive females can produce young when as old as 6.5 years and lived 8.4 years (Ronald Nowak 1999), which is plausible. One female lived 6 years in captivity (Richard Weigl 2005). Further studies may be necessary to better estimate the longevity of these animals.
