The chances of her eating those and not getting a potentially fatal
blockage is not high so you have to go on a major hunt for new stash
places and remove every single one of those so that she can't eat
them in the future.
No rubber or latex toys for ferrets, please!
She most likely has them someplace clever that you have not yet
discovered. (Heck, once it took us years to find a very expensive
pair of corrective eyeglasses which had been hidden on a top shelf
in a closet. Another time a folder of family photos turned out to be
wedged behind a bookcase. We don't have a sofa ferrets can dig their
way into but that's a place I've heard used often. They find creative
places.
