Grinding teeth is usually due to stomach pain or nausea. Staggering
could be the result of low blood glucose and this could also
contribute to nausea. A good checkup at the vet is in order. A
standard CBC will tell you what his/her blood glucose is among other
things.

In the meantime, watch your ferret closely and make sure he is
eating. Missed meals could cause his blood glucose to drop
dangerously low. Supplement any missed meals with chicken baby food
until you can get him into a vet.
