Not only does there seem to be no concern, I'd say Mr. and Mrs. 
Weasley don't even know about Scabbers being Pettigrew. At the end of 
GoF, Molly reacted to Sirius showing his human form with fear and 
screamed "Sirius Black."

Ron had to say, "Mom, shut up, it's ok."

That indicates Ron didn't tell her about Scabbers really being a 
wizard everyone thought was dead and that Sirius Black was really not 
the one who killed Pettigrew. Maybe he just told her Scabbers finally 
died and they buried him at Hogwarts. 

Come to think of it, what did Ron tell his parents about getting 
Pidgewigeon? Did he say he saved his pocket money for a small owl, or 
that it was a gift from Harry or Hermione, or an owl he found and 
trained up with Hagrid's help? 

As for Ginny and the Diary. At the time, it was thought that the 
Diary was only a remnant of Voldemort, and not a prelude to him 
returning. It was probably left with that talking-to she got about 
not using strange items without first showing her dad.
