Yes, it could have a fever. All mammals tend to run a temperature if they are fighting off an infection.
If the animal seems happy and pretty much its usual self then I wouldn't worry about it. It could just be a misperception on your part.
The most likely cause of infection in a pet is an injury of some sort. Can you carefully examine the animal, looking for any abscesses or badly healing cuts? Can you remember any recent injuries?
Disease -- a contagious illness of some sort -- is another possibility.
Unfortunately, taking a ferret's temperature involves some intimate contact with parts of their anatomy you don't normally think about. You have to stick a thermonitor up their bums-read how here.
Do contact a vet if the temp is too high, for further advice.
