Hard to say over the 'net. :) The original poster of the question
had one recovering from adrenal sugery. Adrenal disease can make
ferrets terribly itchy. Usually there are other symptoms of adrenal
disease too; look for hair loss, swollen vulva, etc...

Ferrets are generally pretty itchy critters, but if Luna's itching is
above and beyond regular ferret itchiness, a vet visit is probably in
order...

Good luck,
