You might want to try Interceptor... I used to use it on my guys and it
never seemed to harm them. It doesn't have any Ivermectin in it. Your
vet can probably help you scale a ferret dose from either the dog or cat
pills. Here is the company's web page about it:

Of course, they don't have it "approved" for ferrets, but so few things
are, ya know?
Hope this helps!
