That does sound like what we think of as 'teeth grinding,' which is a pain =
response generally associated with stomach issues but can involve the GI tr=
act. Its common if occuring during or immediately after eating, to be asso=
ciated with an ulcer. However, there can be numerous other causes. It can=
also be related to nausea, although in my experience its always been a pai=
n response.
Your ferret needs to be seen by a vet to determine the cause of the teeth g=
rinding. Observe closely to see if it happens at specific times or is rand=
om and check stools for signs of upper GI bleeding that may be associated w=
ith an ulcer, i.e., black tarry stools.
