I inquired last week to have an insurance coverage for my ferret home based business with the insurance I deal with. I finally had the answer this afternoon: they will insure me. They had to hold a meeting to decide that it was OK afterall to have 6 ferrets in my home, but they said that I could not be covered by damages done by my pet (fine by me: the ferrets have already ruined the rug near the door sill anyway...). I guess ferrets are not well known yet in Canada! But this might be a blessing: in a suburb of Ottawa, you cannot have more that 5 cats or dogs in a household. A lot of ferret owners might be in trouble in the legislators had thought of including the ferrets!
