They're "kids" until their late teens. Shek-ti, for example, has been technically adult for about 2 years or so.
Calculating age can be a bit tricky, since their world has different time spans than ours or the skunks' (which are both similar). We have 24-hour days and 365-day years. The Asar have 36-hour days and 788-day years. So an Asar which is 74 in our worlds' time frame would actually be almost 23 in their native worlds' time frame.
They live to be about 120 in their world, which would be about 390 years in ours.
In our world, then, they would be "children" for about 17 years. In their world, though, it would only be a little more than 5 years.
