Last night right before bed was her last real poop that I saw. I don't know if she went between then and when I took her out today. She may very well have chewed a toy although I've never seen her actually ingest anything that wasn't food. No vomiting, lethargy or unusual behavior.
I made a vet appointment for the morning.

I'm glad you made an appointment. In the meantime start the blockage protocol. Until you see orange poops. Have gloves ready to be able to look through the poop. If she crashes at all, acts lethargic or strange take her into the emergency vet. Here is the document if you want read it over on the protocol. docs.google.com/document/d/145QYWoTOJlsHViwRrtqDk8wPrFtx9sBxtKU0-sCYtwU/editTry to only feed chunks of meat tonight no bone.

Just started. I only have her out so if I see any poops I'll know it was her.

If you don't have gloves, scoop up the poop with a paper towel and you can either smear it in the towel to look or use toothpicks to dissect - I have done both.

Okay she pooped out a normal turd. It's big and a little pumpkin-y. I checked it out and there's no solid matter or anything to indicate she passed a foreign object. Maybe it is just constipation after all? Should I keep giving her pumpkin etc??

Yes, I would keep up the protocol for four hours so two turns just to help her clear anything out. Her poops should be orange and bright by the end to ensure nothing is left in her. If you have done two turns then you should be fine. The vet appt might not be a bad idea still just to check and make sure everything is okay but that is up to you. A good poo is a great thing.

Woot! Good girl! Sounds like she might have just had a bit of a hair all or too much bone. Are any of them shedding?

I'm taking her to the vet anyway as she is due for distemper and I already told my work I wasn't coming in.. ;P
I think they are shedding but it's not really noticeable except that Porkchop's coat has changed a LOT.

Start adding an egg or two per ferret per week for a little while to help move that fur from their bellies and throats.

I love my vet!! I didn't think they were 100% on board with frankenprey.. I knew they were fine with whole prey and commercial raw. But today I told them what I've been feeding and they have no problem with it. :'D
They also said Raisin is fine. Shes getting her distemper right now.

That is awesome!! I'm so excited that your vet is okay with it. It is so rare. Can you please post the vet info on the vet board? I'm sure other Arizonians would love to know of a good vet.

I'll do that when I get home.
Introduced duck, it's a hit. Going much better than rabbit which nobody seemed to like and quail which Raisin doesn't like.

Duck is a hit with my crew too! They love it! Rabbit and quail are very gamey so it might take a few turns before they will try it. Even still my crew takes their time eating rabbit.
