They could but they probably wouldn't. They're known for "surplus kills," i.e. let a few loose in a henhouse and they will just go into a frenzy until nothing is moving any more.
The ferrets in the story were Genetically Engineered.
However, in the wild they generally cache excess meat for later. So they would be really unlikely to engage in a gluttonous feast. Once they were full they'd stop.
a normal ferret can hold up to ninety pounds of food in its stomach, so you can only imagine what these ferrets were capable of.

Anyway so far as I can tell that's a fake story that doesn't exist in the wild.
Damn you...guess I'd better come clean. Yeah, I created the image. The news never reported on it, but it was based on True Events. I only did it to cope with the nightmares...you see, the ferrets were mine and the man eaten was me. Told the doc I fell asleep in a bathtub full of acid in order to protect my escaped superferrets from being hunted down like dogs in the wild. Laid in that God Damned hospital bed for weeks waiting on the medical board to find me a full-body skin transplant donor. Do you know how cold a man can get when he's bones?
