Ferrets do have a ribcage
that means your ribcage is open and is showing
The ribcage doesn't include any long bones.
Well, to answer the question directly, skin protects the ribcage. If the question reversed (what organs does the ribcage protect?), then my answer would be that the ribcage primarily protects the heart and lungs, although it does protect the spleen and, to a lesser extent, the liver and stomach.
Your ribcage protects your heart, lungs, spleen, liver, and part of your intestines.
