Have you had a look on ferret illness chart that it couldn't be something else?

Is she showing any other symptoms, depressed/lethargic/not eating drinking as much or more than usual/dribbling/not moving just as normal or more active than normal/head tilting/eyes or eyesight abnormal/itching/bumps under skin/hair loss etc?

 

If you can catch it take a vid.

 

Hope she'sdoing better today? Atb.

...are you sure they're not just scratching themselves on the floor of the hutch? or are they definitely fitting?
