Hi Darlene,
I did have it and found it of value. I cancelled it when I had too many ferrets (10) and the premiums were costing me over a $100.00 per month. At that point it wasn't worth keeping it. However, if you have a small number it is worth getting. Here is a link to an overview on Pet Insurance for ferrets in MaFF's Newletter:

Note, this was written in 2008 and the premium rates may have changed since then.

[Note that Tressie is in Canada and policies may
differ among countries. In the U.S. endocrinological
problems tend to be disqualified from coverage, and
that includes adrenal growths and insulinoma, and
ferrets who are older than kits often have many other
things disqualified as "preexisting" when clains are
made so many here start a savings account from the
start for each ferret, planning on an average of about
$5,000 in veterinary care through the lifetime for each.
