No I really can't guess about health problems in a ferret of that age. I have two 7yr olds one 6yr old and two 5yr olds that are all verry active with little or no health problems

This sounds like IBD. I belive you should make an apt. to see your vet as soon as possible. If your ferret does have IBD (which I have read is common in a ferret of that age)the sooner you get a idea what is going on the sooner you will be able to help him. I hope this helps you out
