How long have you had her? She could still be getting used to her surroundings.

Ferrets: Wesley, Percy, Owen    -rip Bandit-
Bettas- Kitty, Pip, and Logan
Sun Conure- Kita
Gerbils- Piper and Tailer

She could just be getting used to her new home, but some ferrets just aren't that into playing.

One of my ferrets isn't very interested in playing. She very rarely gets excited and playing, and the only thing that i've found can get her excited is when another ferret is egging her on to play :P Thats just her personality. She loves exploring and will spend hours just wandering around checking everything out and sniffing everything :)

Jingle Toys, Plastic bags, Waving Blankets, Tickling, Another Ferret, Playing Tag, Changing environment, Dig Boxes, Squeeky Toys,  ETC.

Each ferret is different and can be set off by different things. Just try....well...everything! 


Keep in mind some ferrets can just be lazy slugs and enjoy lounging over being nuts.
