Nathan asked about pet insurance: I've seen about 4 different plans, and those cover dogs and cats only. Also, none of them offer coverage comparable to human insurance - it seems you pay alot for pet insurance, but not all things are covered - if a particular breed is predisposed to certain illnesses, those things aren't covered - so even if ferrets were covered, since they appear to be typically predisposed to insulinoma and adrenal disease, most likely these things would not be covered. Vaccinations and spay/neuter typically have not been covered either. It's been a while since I've looked at any pet plans, they may have changed since then - but here's another point - all these plans are individual plans - there is no "family" plan - so if you have a bunch of ferrets, it could be quite expensive - not really worth it, IMO.
