Patti:
There is a type of material for the cage that is made from recycled paper, where all inks or dyes have been removed. We used to use it. Also, giving them a place to sleep that is not directly on the cage bottom is a good thing. There are many styles and types of ferret beds available, or else just take some old t-shirts, towels, etc. and make a section of the cage the 'bedroom'.
Also, you mention that an ear infection is a possibility. Ferrets get ear mites. They almost all have them. Their ears must be cleaned regularly. There is special ear cleaning solution to do this, available at any decent pet store.

Here you are:

Basically, cedar is toxic in general, whereas pine is a problem when an allergy exists (and
then it can be a very serious problem).
