I rarely post so if this is old news, I apologize... Veterinary Pet insurance 1-800=872-7387 sells pet insurance for all types of pets, including exotics (rats, hedgehogs, ferrets..) Group rates are available. You need to see if your vet takes it, but quite a few seem to do. We are going to insurance our crew. The ferrets need to be healthy prior to enrollment and pre-existing diseases are not covered. Nine ferrets and one hedgehog are going to cost 121.60 per month. Cancers are covered and you can, for extra cost, get a extra rider for extra coverage. It pays 90% of your plan's corresponding benefit schedule allowance per incident for eligible expenses. vaccinations and routine care are covered. anne [Moderator's note: I suggest carefully reading the exclusions and perhaps searching the FML archives about this -- it's been very helpful for some people but much less so for others. Don't forget -- companies that offer insurance are betting you'll spend more on premiums than they will spend on claims: if it sounds too good to be true... read the policy :-) BIG] [Posted in FML issue 4407]
