Hi there,

One of the first things that would be on my mind is a GI blockage. She could
have found an eraser in a school bag, chewed rubber on a sneaker... I'd
separate her if you have an extra cage, and watch her for bowel movements
and vomiting. Of course there are other things that could account for what
you are seeing, but a blockage would be high on my list. Watch her closely.
If you see no stool but you do see vomiting, it's a strong sign of a
blockage. A complete blockage can kill a ferret within a couple of days, so
move fast if you think this could explain it.

good luck
Jen
