Is this a ferret who is on an all-meat or mostly meat diet? In dogs and cats that is a common cause of low calcium levels.
(All meat and mostly meat diets can also cause shortages of other minerals which are normally found in non-meat portions of prey such as the high mineral contents of many organs. Such diets are unbalanced and unsafe.)
