Subject: Pet Insurance: Is it Worth It?

I'm thinking about signing my ferrets up for this (See below). I
called for some more information, and it's cheaper to pay the year's
amount upfront. ($156 per ferret). There's a $50 deductible per
incident and you pay 10 percent of everything after that. Has anyone
had any positive or negative experiences with this company? Is it
cost efficient in your opinion? I realize that it's a gamble
regardless, but I just wanted to get some opinions.

Thanks!

Danielle
