Ferrets tend to sneeze a lot and occasional sneezing is not a great concern. Ferrets often hold their noses to force a sneeze and then "face wash" to spread scent from glands that are behind and below their ears over their faces. It is not prevalent in young kits until they're more older. When a ferret sneezes you might smell an increase in scent near the ears.

Ferrets have poor eyesight, but excellent smell. Ferrets spend a great deal of time investigating and sniffing, and being close to the ground. dust will enter their nose causing them to sneeze a lot. A ferret's sneeze, which can be very loud, sounds like a combination of a cough and a sneeze. If the ferret looks healthy and does not appear to be sick, an occasional sneeze and cough isn't anything to worry about.

A sneezing or cough attack a couple of times a day can be normal. If sneezing is frequent, look around. Cat litter or products you clean with, or the room could cause irritation (carpet holds dust). Also cigarette smoke (second hand smoke is very unhealthy, especially for ferrets).

Humans can transfer influenza virus to ferrets very easily. If you are exhibiting signs of a cold or the flu, use caution when handling your ferret.

Why do ferrets act weird when a new one is introduced into its cage?

What do you mean by "weird?" Ferrets have a pecking order, much like dogs. If you have multiple ferrets and you introduce a new one, the dominant ferret and the new ferret will likely "wrestle" for dominance. If you introduce a new ferret to an older ferret who is not used to having company in his cage then the older ferret just may reject the new ferret altogether. Or it may just take him a while to warm up to having a new playmate.
