Sounds like it's playing with you mate. Not a problem if it's in the garden or fecking about in the shed, but a pain in the arse if it's fecking about by the entrance to the bury. Is it doing it with all buries or just unoccupied ones? One of my jills used to do that until we got dogs that mark and we stopped entering her into unoccupied buries.

all burrows she stays in them then when he comes out starts dancing about the place only started couple of weeks ago

She's still young mate, she'll probably calm down in time. Just sounds like a happy ferret to me.

hopefully that is the case she should be anyway with the space they have and the food they get

she will settle down when she matures. i have had a few like that in the past nothing to worry about.
