Well, Rocket does this too...mid war dance quite frequently.  I thought
maybe he had fleas but havent seen any, just gave him a bath and no vermin
at all.  I think he is just an itchy ferret.  Maybe his skin is dry?  We try
and use a coat conditioner on Rocket, maybe that would help.  As long as it
isnt persistant itching I dont think you need to worry about it, especially
if the vet saw nothing wrong.
 
Happy ferreting!
