Yes, there is a VERY good chance this is ECE, which is VERY prevalent in pet store kits.
Also, when bringing home a new ferret a two week quarantine (separate from existing ferrets) is always recommended just in case baby has a communicable disease. If this is ECE chances are Missy will get it too.
I'd have Boomer checked out at the vet--the sooner the better.
All the best,
