I know a lot of places require a permit (which very few people little people actually apply for). Jamie looked it up a few weeks ago and we're talking everything from snakes to hamsters. It's just a way for them to make money on the suckers that bother to fill out the paperwork. The insurance part is interesting but I can't see how they could force you to take out such an expensive policy on a docile animal. This isn't an exotic animal that can cause catastrophic damage or injury. There's got to be a misunderstanding.
