Hi Bronwyn,
First of all, I'm not a veternarian. I have experience though and from what you're describing, this sounds like insulinoma. First off, stop giving any treats (sugar based, like fruits or anything of the like). Second, lethargy usually occurs when they become low in sugar so giving sugar only produces a "false" high for them, perks them up but then you'll have a massive crash later. If you go to www.ferretcentral.org, you should be able to find all the information you might need on the subject there.
