Brown muck in a ferrets ear does NOT mean ear mites, don`t go poking in there for no good reason, they can have waxy ears, and if excessive this can be GENTLY cleaned, perhaps with a baby wipe. but be carefull in there, and make sure it is mites before treating them for it.

Yes right go and give the vet 35 quid for him to tell you yes it's earmites ????? Then give you some crap for another twenty ,??? Just get the anti paracite from the pet shop , if left untreated ear mites can be unpleasant for ferrets they loose there balance and go down hill , so I wouldn't hang about will cost you 4.50 at the petshop job done ,
