The "thing" definitely looks like a hairball (trichobezor). She is so lucky not to have to have that surgically removed. Vomiting up hairballs happens with ferrets, but I don't believe it's anywhere near as common as it is in cats. A lot of ferrets have to have them surgically removed.

The vulva does look a little swollen. I wonder if the longer days of spring might be causing just enough of an increase in LH to stimulate the adrenals to produce a little more estrogen, but they're not really diseased... yet.
