Ben Whiteman slotted home from close range in the 94th minute to earn a point for Rovers and continue the impressive run of form which has seen them climb to 11th in League One.
Rovers had looked set to come away empty-handed after struggling to break down a resolute Peterborough side who went ahead on 14 minutes through Danny Lloyd.
But the persistence paid off, to Ferguson's delight.
He said: "We're not getting overexcited by the fact that we've got a point but when you equalise in the 94th minute you take it obviously."
