Re: vitamin D and calcium:

Yes, in humans the D we make in response to sunlight is a large amount, and, yes, we humans use that D to help process calcium for our bones BUT it takes having some EXPOSED SKIN to create that much D in that way in the first place. Ferrets at typically covered with fur almost completely.

(Hopefully, this will arrive after the post I approved 10 minutes ago to which it responds.)
