Time for a vet appointment -- and with lethargy in a kit don't wait since she might have eaten something she shouldn't (latex, rubber, eraser, large chunk of very dried fruit, piece of carrot, etc, and may thus have a partial blockage. If it is blockage there is a very short window in which corrective action can be taken by a vet. Any ferret can do that but kits seem to be especially prone to eatting things they should not.
Remember that not all blockages show up on x-rays.
If it is not a blockage your vet will examine and will select among the tests which seem most appropriate at this time.
If you do not have a vet there are links to a number of lists of vets which can be found in the Critical Refs in
http://www.ferretcongress.org
and if you need others search for content containing the phrase
finding a vet
in the FHL Complete Archives
http://fhl.sonic-weasel.org
A ferret of that age should not have long-standing pronounced lethargy.
