One of our halfway houses had a similar problem with Liberty Mutual a few
years back.  After some back and forth email and some technical references
were exchanged, Liberty Mutual said that they had notified their people
that homes with ferrets were to be treated the same as those with dogs and
cats.  You might want to contact them.  After they insure you, be sure to
contact State Farm and tell them that they have lost all of your future
business to Liberty Mutual because of their idiotic stand against ferrets.
