Ringworm is very contagious, so you might want to bathe everybody, change all their bedding and seperate those who have the suspicious looking skin. It will be easy for your vet to tell if the ferrets have ringworms, get them to him just as soon as you can as it will keep spreading and is very difficult to eradicate, takes a lot of work over quite a period of time!
Even if it is not ringworm, it certainly will put your mind at ease and if it is something else that needs treatment, then your vet will be able to advise you---Angela.
