Vomiting is not normal and can be a sign of a serious problem.  It takes an
awful lot going on for a ferret to vomit.  I've had ferrets since '86 and I
can only remember one vomiting and he had a foreign object in his stomach.
Others have had various illnesses, including ECE, and have never vomited.
No, I don't believe vomiting 1 to 3 times a day is nothing to worry about.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
