Other than shelters & pet stores which offer pet sitting services, or having a friend watch them, I don't know of any other options. Some vacations can include travelling with your ferrets...it involves a lot of preparation, getting hotel/airline arrangements, etc., and even then sometimes it isn't possible (such as if you're going to Hawaii). If you had posted your name and location, perhaps someone on this list could have agreed to take them in for 3 weeks. I've seen that happen. I'm in Chicago, let me know if I can help. Good luck.
