Hi Tara,
Even though Reece hasn't gotten out and is producing normal poops, you
still can't rule out a blockage.  Blockages can also be caused by hair.  I
don't know much about ferret food allergies-- I guess he could be allergic
to fish.  But whatever's causing the vomiting and low activity level, he
needs to see a vet ASAP.  A vet can help you rule out a blockage, or
diagnose one, and work with you from there to figure out what the next
steps are.  Also, vomiting is dehydrating, and Reece may need more fluids
than he can replace for himself.  I hope it's something minor, but please
go see a vet.  all the best,
 
Regina
