Did you check his gums. Could be a low blood sugar count. Could try a little karo syrup rubbed on his gums. Could try giving him some duk soup which might induce him to eat on his own. A jar of baby food, chicken, turkey or beef and gravy might be useful. A spoonful thinned with a little water and ground kibble, offered in a bowl or spoon fed. Even if he doesn't eat, water intake is vital. Don't want to have him get dehydrated, which could lead to vital organ shutting down.
Just a few suggestions to get through the weekend until a vet visit on Monday.
My first ferret was over 11 when he crossed the bridge. Hoping all will turn out well for Bandit and he is around for a long time more.
