The only health insurance that covers ferrets in the U.S. usually pays
back ONLY when the ferrets have been insured since kithood according to
many complaints of just about anything being called "preexisting" and
does NOT any longer cover anything endocrinological such as insulinoma or
adrenal disease, two of the most common ferret health problems.  A saving
account is better.  You are doing a better job than some adults since you
are seriously taking medical needs into consideration and preparing for
them.  Hey, a large number of the most worthwhile things in life are not
in the least easy, but once they are done that just makes them all the
more appreciated, and that is true whether it is saving for a rainy day,
working on a marriage, getting an education, creating a business, raising
kids, whipping up a feast, building something, etc.
