incorrect preload?
lack of / incorrect grease?
worn / damaged stub axle?
use of wheel spacers?
lots of other possibilities too.

Ferrets?
I would think the above, preload or lack off will shag bearings very quickly. Greased up?

incorrect fitment would be the thing i'd check - he could overtight the nut or not fold the lock tab
how was the condition of stub axle, hub etc. was when he fitted em?
