Maximum longevity: 5.3 years (captivity)
Observations: Maximum known lifespan in the wild is 4 years (Ronald Nowak 1999). It has been reported that these animals live up to 6 years in captivity (http://www.demogr.mpg.de/longevityrecords), which is possible but unverified. Record longevity in captivity is 5.3 years (Richard Weigl 2005).
