In response to those who have posted about insurance companies dropping them
or refusing to insure them because of ferret ownwership, I would like to
suggest the following:
 
Have you considered filing a formal complaint with the State Insurance
Commissioner?  This is the person who licenses and regulates all insurance
companie operating in the state.  While the Commissioner might not force the
companies to change their policies (although he does have the power to do
so) it is very likely that the Commissioner will ask them to show the
statistical data which forms the basis of their belief that ferrets are a
significant risk than other small pets.
 
Just a suggestion.
