One possibility is that there are mouth sores from her failing kidneys. When Sevie's kidneys were failing due to her poor circulation she had those and she was grinding a lot. The vet not only had us use liquid Carafate but also had us put plain old Listerine on a q-tip and put that against the sores. Our response at first was , "Huh?" but it helped her a lot. All ferrets differ, of course, so do check this or any other tips with your vet before trying them.
