This can be a tough one.  Small poops may be seen when there is a partial
blockage, but food is still moving through.  With him alert, eating well
and active, this is something that I would just put in the back of my
head, but keep a good eye on him anyway.
 
>#2; female ferret 4-5 yrs old. has an enlarged Vulva ( going to vet) most
>likely adrenal. noticed that my males are going after her ears.
 
Very likely to be adrenal.  Intact females do have a pronounced body odor
that may not be very obvious to us non-ferrets, but other ferrets pick up
on it.  The ears are a site of a lot of scent glands, and these glands
are probably highly active at this point.
 
With kindest regards,
