Hi, I don't have any experience, but I'd be interested in finding out more about the insurance.  
Do you know how much the premiums are for rats?

One of my co-workers has pet insurance and she LOVES it! I'll ask her more about it and get back to ya.

I don't have it, because it would cost me $50 a month to insure all 8 rats. But it's only $7 a month per rat, and a tiny discount for additionals.

Thanks everyone,i would really like to know how they are about paying claims.Also they don't cover pre-existing conditions,does anyone know if they consider MYCO a pre-existing condition.My girls have all had a go round with the dreaded diease but have since been declared healthy,does that constitute cured?Help,trying to decide.

I'll let you know more when I go through these fat envelopes of kicked back claims.

sounds like a good idea, might have to look at that.
i cant imagine them paying out for much though, or they would end up giving away more money than they are getting, seein as rats have such a short life span??
